After all, it's already been nearly three years since Air Force officials disclosed the fact that an NGAD technology demonstrator had not only already flown, but had even broken records. Now, however, it seems evident that a final design hasn't been chosen for this new crewed stealth fighter that's expected to offer such a significant leap in capability over existing top-tier 5th-generation jets like the F-22 and F-35 that it's already being described as a 6th generation fighter. And while the Air Force has been clear that there are more than two firms competing to field the winning design, it seems that at least two firms have an inside track. Let's talk about what we know about the three leading aerospace firms, their 6th generation fighter proposals, and what the NGAD fighter may ultimately look like. 📱 Follow Sandboxx News on social Twitter: https://twitter.com/sandboxxnews Instagram: https://instagram.com/sandboxxnews Facebook: https://facebook.com/sandboxxnews TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sandboxxnews 📱 Follow Alex Hollings on social Twitter: https://twitter.com/AlexHollings52 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexhollings52 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AlexHollingsWrites TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/alexhollings52 Further Reading and Original Reporting: - https://www.sandboxx.us/blog/the-race-to-field-ngad-the-futuristic-replacement-for-the-f-22-raptor-is-officially-on/ - https://www.sandboxx.us/blog/ngad-fighter/ - https://www.sandboxx.us/blog/voodoo-ii-could-a-simple-patch-give-us-a-sneak-peek-at-ngad/ - https://www.sandboxx.us/blog/the-air-force-just-dropped-this-concept-art-of-its-ngad-fighter/ Citations - https://breakingdefense.com/2023/05/two-companies-have-worked-on-air-forces-ngad-next-gen-jet-but-more-competitors-are-possible/ - https://breakingdefense.com/2023/05/the-air-forces-next-generation-fighter-will-be-selected-in-2024/ - https://www.sandboxx.us/blog/can-the-f-35-dogfight-the-truth-behind-the-infamous-2015-report/ - https://www.sandboxx.us/blog/what-went-wrong-how-the-f-35-got-to-be-so-expensive/ - https://breakingdefense.com/2012/02/f-35-production-was-acquisition-malpractice-top-dod-weapons-b/ - https://www.govconwire.com/2022/08/5-vendors-to-develop-adaptive-engine-prototypes-under-975m-air-force-ngap-idiq/ - - https://www.sandboxx.us/blog/x-44-manta-how-lockheed-nailed-the-ngad-in-the-90s/ - https://www.sandboxx.us/blog/what-kind-of-fighter-could-the-latest-military-tech-really-build/ - https://www.sandboxx.us/blog/new-us-fighter-programs-are-learning-what-not-to-do-from-the-f-35/ - https://www.sandboxx.us/blog/did-lockheed-martin-just-give-us-a-sneak-peek-at-americas-next-stealth-fighter/ - https://www.sandboxx.us/blog/is-this-the-technology-that-will-define-6th-generation-fighters/ - https://www.sandboxx.us/blog/ges-new-fighter-engine-just-blew-away-existing-jet-technology/ - https://www.sandboxx.us/blog/project-venom-the-air-force-is-adding-ai-pilots-to-6-f-16s/ - https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/14415/no-that-yf-23-like-rendering-of-the-skunk-works-next-gen-fighter-isnt-new - https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/new-next-generation-air-dominance-fighter-renderings-from-lockheed - https://www.popsci.com/northrop-grumman-ad-teases-6th-generation-fighter/ - https://www.aerotime.aero/articles/29356-northrop-grumman-6th-generation-fighter-jet - https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/new-views-of-northrop-grummans-totally-notional-long-range-stealth-fighter - https://www.defenseone.com/business/2022/07/northrop-grumman-ceo-we-can-build-next-generation-fighter/375066/ - https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/IF/IF11659 - https://www.sandboxx.us/blog/americas-secret-stealth-aircraft-youve-never-heard-of/ - https://secure.boeingimages.com/archive/Boeing-Model-853-21-Quiet-Bird-in-Test-Lab--Front-View-2JRSXLJBFJ8P.html
