Country:  | Whatever .... I am aware of the differences in technology and how it's so very unlikely but many of the inovations/features are very similar if you stare at them . This magazine dated back about to 78 but the guy who wrote the article made a good case to to my untrained eye
Compare any other aircraft from 1958 to the 14 or the 15 and which one has more common DNA .

There is nothing similar, and they are not derived from one another.

Country: | Well, after reading some of the comments in regards to my CF-105 / F-111 comment, I took a look-see and I have to agree.
Other than a swept wing twin jet powered aircraft, I don't see a whole lot of similarity between the two.
If I ever do run across that picture again, I'll post it, and if I can't do that, I'll let you guys know where I saw it so you can check it out for yourselves.

B-58
Avro Vulcan (especially including planform)
F-102
F-106
Tu-22M
Mig-23
Mig-27
Just off the top of my head...

Elvis | One of the things that I recall in the article was the intakes if you look to 57-58 very few if any aircraft had the square type intakes underwing they were annular there were several other comments which I can't recall. Before some of us have kittens I already stated the fact I don't believe the article was written in stone but it was out there and the writer made some points which he backed up . whether his logic was correct I don't know. But the DNA question remains which aircraft from that period shows more traits that carries through to todays modern fighters .

Country: | Admittedly some of those are not late 50's vintage, but the similarities did exist.

Country: | I saw the A5 also but ain't gonna arm the opposition, next take a look at the shape of the wing and the "droop" it isn't a straight wing its full of curves (yes every wing is  ) but it has the form of more modern aircraft then most if not all in 58. Once again I am aware this is more fantasy then fact but then again don't shoot the messenger I didn't write the article that takes brains and fancy initials after your name which I've been told I sorely lack

Country: | PB,
Quite correct. The rectangular intakes were not as apparent at that time.
I'd forgotten about the A-5...maybe that was it.
Do you recall if the comparison pictures looked like the line drawings that have been posted in this thread?
That's how I remember them. In fact, I think it was white lines against a blue background - almost like a blueprint, but not as detailed.
