According to WIKIPEDIA
Typical design characteristics of the 6th gen
- Advanced digital capabilities including high-capacity networking, AI, data fusion, cyber warfare, D2D and battlefield command, control and communications (C3) capabilities.
- Optionally manned, with the same airframe capable of conducting piloted, remote controlled or onboard-AI controlled missions.
- Enhanced human-systems integration, with virtual cockpits presented via helmet-mounted displays which allow the pilot 360-degree vision with AI-enhanced battlefield awareness, and replacing conventional instrument panels.
- Advanced stealth airframes and avionics.
- Advanced variable-cycle engines able to cruise economically but still deliver high thrust when required.
- Increased-range stand-off and BVR weapons.
- Potential use of directed-energy weapons such as a laser CIWS.
1 -- TAI can design and produce 6th gen platform
2-- Even KAAN has high-capacity networking,
AI, data fusion
It uses artificial intelligence, Autonomy, Sensors and data fusion.
Communication uses human-machine interface technologies for this purpose
with AI-enhanced battlefield awareness ( sensor fusion with AESA Radars , EOTS and IRST )
F-22 lacks this capability
3-- Even KAAN with Artificial Intelligence Co-pilot
F-22 lacks this capability
4-- Even KAAN has HMDS and 360° situational awareness with 4 AESA radars
F-22 lacks this capability

5-- Even KAAN with Aselsan YILDIRIM-300 DIRCM directed-energy weapon as a laser CIWS.
F-22 lacks this capability

6-- Even KAAN with Increased-range BVR weapons
Thanks to GOKHAN ramjet powered long range Air to Air Missile project
Turkish Fighter provides air dominance through:
- Increased air to air engagement ranges with Novel Weapons
- Precise and accurate weapon firing from internal weapon bays at high/supersonic speed
- Augmented lethality with support of Artificial Intelligence and Neural Networks

7-- Even KAAN with full data-to-decision (D2D) capability for multi-layered distributed team of diverse manned aircraft working in concert with unmanned types ( KAAN , ANKA-3, KIZILELMA )
F-22 lacks this capability
Thanks to Turkish unmanned Technologies
Thanks to TAI Otonom Kol Uçuşu (OKU / Autonomous Wingman Concept)

8-- Now We came to the engine part
TR-MOTOR and TEI develops 35.000 lbf turbofan Engine with the latest technologies
They says about 2028-2030 ..... we will see what will happen in 2028
but Turkish turbofan Engine technology is not on paper
Turkish turbofan Engine technology on the way through TF-10.000 project
View attachment 26881
For 6th gen Fighter , TR-MOTOR -TEI should develop a
variable cycle Engine after the TF-35.00 turbofan Engine like American G37 Engine
