F-47 Design Progressing, First Flight On Track

Yes, just like Musk's repeated claim year after year that he would lead Americans to Mars.

And, he probably will which undoubtedly will leave some here visibly angry.

However, this thread is about the continued development of the F-47. Discussions of Musk leading the world to Mars should be in the appropriate thread. If there isn't one, feel free to create one.

Has absolutely nothing to do with this

Go start your own thread about Elon musk's claim

Probably daft question to ask. US don’t need a huge fleet of expensive stealth Jets if you have air superiority around the globe, so just makes a lot sense to have a big fleet of non-stealth jets like build a new F16 viper that have the latest tech to participate in the modern battle-space. Case in point: B-52.

Good point, number ultimately matters.

Current US fifth generation fleet numbers almost 1,100.

Good, keep it up, numbers would always win in the end, proven in every war in the history.

And to add, if the F-47 has Canards, it cannot be a 5th Gen or 6th Gen platform as per what many said about J-20 not being a "true" 5th gen platform because it had canards.

Just saying ....

American version of J-20?

Thanks, and welcome back.

US Air Superiority against China would be impossible!! This means China has no aircraft to challenge or doesn’t include chinas surface to Air weapons.

What we’ve learned if the US cant stop Iran firing SAMs what chance do they have against a peer.

US Airforce should have build more f16XL than putting all there money into expensive stealth.
