Based on this
Actually screw gears, who needs gears anyway?
It's not as hopeless as the diamond (it's got wings!), but near sea level it's not much better than gen2 jet
Maximum practical speed is ~1.3M, limited by wing and servo fairings near wingtips (that was stupid decision)
You can accelerate up to 1.5M in stratosphere above point where temperature gradient inverts, but you'll waste most of fuel just to get there.
TWR near sea level is around 2.5, but it's not like it helps.
Cruise conditions are perhaps around 10km altitude with throttle somewhere in 10...15% range
Afterburner isn't controlled separately; fuel flow is controlled by throttle squared (to make it more precise), engine burns however much it needs in front of turbine (which isn't actually calculated) and whatever's left after.
There's no rudder, but high AoS might lead to spin, so FBW uses roll angle to control sideslip, and that implies keeping airplane upright
Pieces of code used to generate it are in craft instructions. Some are incorrect, some are useless, some can't work now because others were changed. If you can read that, go do something more productive.
Purpose of hump is to hide intake from radar, but perhaps it can also hide inlet from airflow.
Originally it used to have four-sided fuselage, with two parameters controlling a slice, but it's side happened to be a kind of ruled surface that can't be built from aligned fuselages (fuselage isn't really circular but you can't rotate it's face without rotating other one). Fifth side was added to compensate for parameter lost by fixing angles.
