Breaking: Boeing wins the US Air Force Next Generation Air Dominance fighter contract

[LeGenD]

OR - the USAF Chief(and American president) could be plain lying because they are embarrased that China beat them to the punch on being first with a 6th Gen platform and the Americans are indulging in false propaganda to try and create false facts ?!?!

The Chinese have been very open with their 6th Gen platform. All we have of the American programme is some low resolution renders .....

Where is the proof that NGAD has flown ? There is no proof - potentially only a "smoke and mirror" show hidden behind a wall of lies?

It looks like you have never heard of Black Articles?

Congrats to Boeing, always loved the F-15 strike Eagle (developed by McDonnell Douglas first) and F-18 jets.

NG is going to get the F-XX. Gotta keep all the primes happy, which TBH makes sense from a Pentagon/commercial perspective as well.

But oh boy is Boeing gonna be under a whole lot of pressure.

Probably - because they have done a fantastic job with the B-21.

I am saying I dont belive the american narrative on being first. I dont think the Americans have anything. What reinforces that to me, is how open the Chinese have been about 2 x 6th gen platforms. You have to ask why are they being so transparent. It is because they know the Americans dont have anything.

You’re mega coping. You’re twisting a story in your mind that’s totally absent from reality.

Any way - congrats to Boeing, hopefully they will do a better job of it than LM did with the F-35 programme in execution ....

LM and NG is going to get a bite of the F-47 program there's no such thing as going solo anymore thankfully DOD made sure of that.

Funny part is when F-47 enters service the F-35 at that time will be more advanced in its technology than F-47 but noy by much. Maybe that was the reason for the pause they were saying to themselves we're going to built a fighter that will be faster, greater range and stealthier but tech wise will be on par with F-35?

 

[Guynextdoor]

They don't have to prove anything to you D.A what part of that can't you get through your thick head?

They proved it's a 5.5 gen aircraft with canards, and you guys are cheering like idiots

besides the USAF has a long list of secretive aircraft.
F114 was in service for 2 decades before the world got to know of it
Aurora- no one has seen it till date
Even the Roswell incident is now attributed to some high altitude defence vehicle

Pretty sure there are other platforms

And like @SolarWarden said, US needs to prove squat to you.

 

[ChineseTiger1986]

So Boeing gonna copy J-36 and LM gonna copy J-50.

Such wide cockpit of the F-47 definitely resembles the J-36.

 

[Guynextdoor]

Any way - congrats to Boeing, hopefully they will do a better job of it than LM did with the F-35 programme in execution ....

yeh but the F 35 is the most succesful 5th gen fighter in the world. Surely a lot of it has worked out.

By TMZ:
Another image we now have of the F-47 concept shows a very interesting and downright puzzling angle. We see that indeed this aircraft has a very broad shovel-like nose and its Bird of Prey-like wing dihedral is also apparent. The canopy looks quite wide as well and a better look at the fuselage is also seen here.





Well well well.... Seems the F-47 will look more exotic than LM version.

An enhanced version does look like it has canard.

You mean the F-117 Night Hawk, right...
