Does anyone have any resources/documents on the DARPA Air Dominance Initiative? I've been reading some of this forum, and I've seen NGAD being referred to as a family of systems, supposedly consisting of PCA, P-AEA, P-ISR, and P-LRS. I can't find anything about these proposals/documents. It would be interesting to compare both the USAF's philosophy on 6th gen to where they are now to see how they measure up to the latest offerings from CAC and SAC.

Trump did mention NGAD had 4 engines (presumably the one from Lockheed Martin).
Trump wants an exact copy of communist Chyna, where has a supreme leader, extreme powerful manufacture industry, and censorship !!! :p
I have a strong feeling that Trump wants an exact copy of everything China has. If China has that, then that's a good thing, US should also have it.
  • J-20 has canards, so Trump wants F-47 have canards. Can see those canards from F-47's CG images.
  • J-35 has two engines, so Trump wants to add another engine to F-35, becoming F-55 with twin engines.
  • J-36 has three engines, so Trump wants NGAD have more engines, with three or even four engines. The more engines, the more powerful, the better!
OMG! Why Trump is so obsessed with China ?! :oops:
