US F/A-XX and F-X & NGAD - 6th Gen Aircraft News Thread

I have tried to study the HD photo and had some guesses...

I have adjusted its brighteness and contrast ratio and got this, two very circular big black dots, maybe this F47 actually has a big V tail?
It could also be concealing the nozzle details as well, it's hard to say now.

Hope not. Because then it would be a J-20 knockoff and Reddit is gonna have a complete meltdown…

So F-47 has canards while J-36 does not ... is that right?

 

[antwerpery]

Regarding the canards and other details from the photo, we have no idea if the picture represents the actual plane or not. It won't be the first time concept art has looked completely different from the final product. So I suggest that people drop it and don't go trolling Americans about it.

The good news is that with Trump likely seeing the NGAD as his super ultra special project, hence the F-47 and being the narcissist that he is, there's a good chance that he drops a ton of photos and information of the f-47 onto social media and maybe even blurbs out sensitive info.

From a technical standpoint the canards are not as big of a problem to address. With proper treatment it is not going to be a problem. Crop the tip, add saw tooth pattern and RAM on leading/trailing edge, and treat any gap with the connection to the fuselage and you should be good to go.

The dihedral on that wing is wild wow. Literally looks like a large Bird of Prey.

This is just too good on so many levels
- Boeing
- Canard aka J20 clone after decade of claiming canard isnt stealth (and of all the NGAD concepts they picked this one)
- 47 because Trump is 47th
- Just starting design now while China already flight testing two
- High profile announcement with only CG, while China announced with flight over city

Its just so pathetic, if I were American I will proberbly also start doing copium

Uhhg..c'mon Trump show the whole damn thing. Don't be shy.

If this thing has canards and tails, then we'll know China is well and truly ahead in next generation fighter aircraft design!

 

[iewgnem]

Wonder if we’ve reached the point where Chinese fanboys are gonna claim that canards are not stealth (for Sixth Gen) and American fanboys are gonna defend that they are.

Nan we just claim its a J20 clone and F22 isnt stealthy because of huge tail
