YF-23's designer's conceptual view of F-47 NGAD: https://aviationweek.com/defense/aircraft-propulsion/yf-23-designer-offers-his-take-boeings-f-47-ngad-configuration F-22 is 62 ft. long & the drawing is quoted at 61 ft. which i don't is possible for a 6gen specs with bigger better engine...

I did the 10+4 concept with folding fin version of Astr-2 with regular solid fuel rocket motor. I had shown earlier in Dec'2024 about Astr-3 SFDR too. > current design of Astr-3 SFDR is making it difficult to fit more than 2x in each IWB due to its long Ramjet intakes. > if intakes are...

AMCA width 36'6" / length 57'9" / empty weight 12 tons / Internal fuel 6.5 tons. F-18E/F width 44'8" / length 60'1" / empty weight 14.5 tons / Internal fuel 6.7 tons. After seeing skinny 4gen F-18 SH with same 2x F414 engines & enjoying versatility of high loadout including EW pods, i decided to...

Here is the V2 with wing lengthened, leading edge angle increased. The canard had to be shortened, maintaining planform design. With TVC nozzles, big canards may not be required. I made the nose narrower, triangular to lessen drag & RCS. Comparison with V1 is also shown. The day i'll get a light...

Perhaps the easiest full-scale F-47 look-alike TD/prototype modified from existing jet F-22.😁 The wing & tail-stab positions are interchanged & rudders removed. Making its front, side, bottom views w/o 3D S/w by just imagining is very tedious at this time, what i used to do on graph sheets in...

For common people like us it can actually be a big headache🤕🤯 to imagine & estimate a new jet in 2D, unless we know how to use 3D CAD S/w. Most 3D artists also make models w/o thinking too much themselves. Let's take F-22 as foundation reference. If we wan't a better TE jet as per 6gen features...

The model in the CGI: https://www.turbosquid.com/FullPreview/1750097

The artist has updated a modified version w/o canard stating that USN doesn't wan't canards. Well, this is opposite expectation if USAF wants canards but not USN bcoz the wing leading edge has high sweep angle means higher landing speed w/o canard. I'm posting a collage again as the images are...

Another artist imagines F-47 little longer, dihedral wing with anhedral winglet. The wing root is shifted back & intakes are also much behind, not enough space for serpentine duct, so engine would be visible. Engine bays are apart & middle space filled like in Su-57, so might have tandem IWBs...

Another artist's good imagination: > This is tandem tri-plane, but putting canard just in front of intake could obstruct airflow, unless onlyouter 2/3rd or half of canard moves. > Bcoz of darkened flag in poster, some people are still speculating small all-moving rudders. > Like Bird-of-Prey the...

I think they'll make 2 jets - 1 engine exportable future of JSF & 2 engine domestic future of ATF. Time will tell soon.

It is personal view of the artist, otherwise the rear half design can be anything. Let's see for how many weeks or months USA will hide its jet. 👻:ROFLMAO:

Some 3D artist imagined & made 3D model & animation of F-47, whose fuselage looks like F/A-XX concept, upward tilted wings remind of Bird-of-Prey, engine bay hump reminds of YF-23. So F-47 NGAD = F/A-XX + BoP + YF-23. :LOL: 🤦‍♂️ I'm putting a smaller collage as the images are huge, bigger than...

F-22's F119 engines have 156 KN wet thrust giving it wet T/STOW = 1.1 F-35's F135 engine have 191 KN wet thrust giving it wet T/STOW = 0.76 for C & 0.87 for A models. If NGAD's A-10X engine is assumed 230 KN wet thrust, that's 230/156=47.4% increase over F-22. Let's adjust it to 234 KN or 50%...

The poster model X-jet could be modified version with 2 engines, canards & different wing config yet to be fully revealed. A public ceremony would probably reveal the production IOC version. With such heavily edited poster, without the hidden rear half, it is difficult to say if the jet would...

But when revenue is coming from existing projects then for new ones, facilities can be expanded. NG will be busy with B-21 but what will LM do apart from maintaining F-22 & F-35? Do you have any interview or article by LM, USAF or Govt. directly? Only after complete body revealing of XF-47 or...

Well, that would be a political decision. But purely from tech PoV, LM & NG would give the best results. But in a capitaist economy, they might have demanded huge money. While Boeing has civillian market too but not LM, NG. So Boeing might have relaxed the cost. IDK Biden admin's thinking but...

It appears so, yes. The posters are heavily edited to hide many things like intakes, exhausts, wings, etc. At this time, just for fun i would say that it can have "Bird of prey" type gull-wing, much wider, the drooped tip might be movable. The canards might enable a Naval version. Lots of...

American citizens with their news network might have expected Boeing. But bcoz LM won ATF & JSF programs which gave them revenue, experience, continued confidence, hence people outside West who obviously would not watch American news channels, would expect LM or NG. If LM could manage F-22 &...

This is unbelievable BREAKING NEWS ⚠️🚨🔔📡🛰️📱🖥️📺📻📰📢that F-47 NGAD will be built by Boeing when most people were speculating LM or NG. 🤦‍♂️ :LOL: So POTUS Donald Trump has said - - It will be most advanced, capable, lethal jet. - Its prototype has been flying secretly since 5 YEARS. - It will be...
