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

[SolarWarden]

So it looks like Phantom works is ready to go which probably played a role in being selected. However it's no wonder Boeings civilian sector has been having trouble past few years a lot of Boeing budget went to Phantom works?

Would be nice if Boeing were a little further along on the AF1 replacement.

Wow.. History.

Have you been paying attention to the pace at which China has been developing?

There is nothing tangible you are referencing other than Its "Better" b/c America. But thats not necessarily a sound assessment.

We have no idea as to what Chinese capabilities are other than what is observed. Similarly we have no idea regarding the F-47, until more details come forward.

I can observe that the J-20's "EOTS" doesn't have 360 degree capability or the ability to sensor fuse 360 degree IR cameras with tracking capability to its helmet. Shall I go on?

That is likely more complicated than a stealth fighter.

Good stuff. Can’t wait for the USAF new craft.

This is Sci-Fi level stuff.

Trump's ego flying high on sixth gen fighters. Bro named it after his own presidency

As I’ve said before, the Air Force has had the finalized NGAD design since last year, which was informed by the NGAD prototypes that flew 5-6 years ago. Now it’s just about integration and full scale production.

Now that's hopium. Blindly believing an advanced prototype exists before the contract has been signed. Who develops a prototype to the point of full scale production before they're guaranteed any money? Especially a slimy grimy company like Boeing.

Looks like a copy of j-36

Yeah b/c its not optimized for several roles like Close Air Support and other things the F-35 being a jack of all trades replacing the A-10s was created for. Its apples and oranges. One could say the J-20 is far better optimized for air to air operations with far longer range, bigger internal weapons bays, and far more thrust for Speed, far larger nose for a bigger radar apeture.

What you think China is not capable of creating a 360 degree DAS system? They are optimized for different roles genius.

It does look like a mixture of J-36 and J-50.

It does have an inlet on the back like the J-36, and its wing shape is like that of the J-50.

All you have is a large number of different designs,all of this indicates that the entire plan is still in the stage of selecting solutions, and the final plan has not even been finalized.
ps:Some one say it has been flying for several years, which only shows that this person's logical thinking ability is not as good as a 5-year-old child's

 

[iblini]

This is freaking next level sucking.

 

[PakAl]

That’s pure hopium. The reality you now face is NGAD will be more advanced than anything China can put in the air.

And now it will be fully funded and has the full support of the Trump administration.

I myself think of USA technology to be superior to anyone else but you must keep in mind China has done excellent job at 5th and 6th generation fighter jets. If Usa inducts the 1st 6th generation around 2030 time, China will most likely induct it as the same time or possible a few years later, so they have certainly caught up to the Usa, maybe technology wise are slightly behind as alleged.

Ever heard X-plane and black project?

DAS or EODAS is not just for CAS "genius" it is for air to air...



Does J-20 have offensive EW and offensive cyber warfare as in electronic virus capability? I can tell you it doesn't therefor it is no match for the F-35 in air to air even when F-35 is disconnected from the kill web and J-20 is definitely no match against the F-35 connected to the kill web.

No they are not capable.

You seem to not understand how far behind celestial fighter tech is.
