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

[liuzhengdong]

The contract was given only after the f22/f35 had completed the prototype. The contract was given before the prototype of the sixth-generation US aircraft was completed. This is too ridiculous.

But he is not talking about regular engine And what specification of WS-15 of youtall claims of world most advance engine? like engine life /MTBO (mean time between overhaul? etc etc, you're may be ahead of Russian engines but you're still way way behind western engines

and do you what is ACE engine? USA/Soviets developed first ACE aka variable cycle engines for their 5th gen jet project in late 80s, and where is the prototype of Chinese ACE aka variable cycle engines for Chinese J-36/J-50, there is lot videos on YouTube of testing of GE prototype XA-100 and P&W XA-101

40 years later, the cycle engine is still in the laboratory

Trump admin has bunch of matters to deal with before a plane, but ofc, for a pure MAGA boy like F22, it's another win under Trump's leadership.

from competing prototypes to competing blueprints, they are in a hurry.

The bar of entry is much lowered now since you only have to submit a blueprint, I wont be surprised if SpaceX finally gets the contract due to political cronyism

Absolutely fantastic news for the US Air Force and US aerospace dominance!

But he surely will only announce it after his return from the usual golf course on Friday!

They want complete/refine product not a raw product

Boeing has been rumored to be the front runner for NGAD the last couple years and supposedly has the most revolutionary design. Phantom Works investments paying off? We shall see

The USAF has flown 3 separate full scale NGAD demonstrators since 2018/19 and has been testing NGAD technologies for years now.

Please provide NGAD flight video

Please provide NGAD flight video

Don’t need to, USAF officials have confirmed full scale NGAD flight testing years ago.

But please correct me if I'm wrong ... we still haven't seen any from them or even a sketch to know what exact configuration they have or in what regard they differ?

 

[Ali_Baba]

Hopefully we get to see some pictures of the proposed winner today.. This stuff is always exciting, even though i dont share Mr F-22Raptors optimism of supremacy.. ( and maybe he will have to change his handle to NGAD or something ? )

This is one of the NGAD prototypes, likely Northrops offering.

Congrats to Boeing! They’ve been rumored the last couple years to be the front runner for NGAD. Apparently they offered the most revolutionary design of the 3 companies that bid.
