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...

So far we have seen multiple CADs & static models with slight differences. Neither ADA nor the 3D artists release basic schematic diagrams, cross sections, configurations, etc. The ones available so far are low resolution & inadequate. It is difficult to confirm how the inducted jet will look...

Now ADA is in a dilemma on how to cater to IN. - tweak AMCA to N-AMCA - or tweak TEDBF to ATEDBF - or new design - when to officially initiate - define timeline keeping in mind global tech advancements. AMCA & current TEDBF would use same engines in twin config. so their dimensions, weight...

A collage of AMCA's CAD 2D front view projections from various artists, in different resolutions, some resized. If anybody has more 2D front views, diagram, sketch, etc, please share.

1:1 mockup, engineering model, static model, exhibit model, etc, whatever people wan't to call it, this exhibit model is made with wood &/or fiber. There are hardly any joints, rivets, real panels, etc. The static model is not for development into flight model. As per DRDO & PSU info on various...

There is an indication by IN about 5gen TEDBF, means complete stealth. Current TEDBF design could be scrapped or heavily modified. So this is different from the earlier linear roadmap which IMO is contributing problem rather than parallel, independent projects. We have our RAMs & RAS now...

Continuing the chain of posts for weapons in AMCA's IWB which is officially quoted 4.2m X 2.2m, After observing the designs of all BVR-AAMs made globally, and intention of F-35 & J-35 to increase their IWB capacity to 6 AAMs, I had shown by diagrams that only 4 big-fin Astr-1/2 AAMs can fit in...

After potential stealthy SAM hunter, AMCA has potential to engage naval & other surface targets also from stand-off distance. If we compare some present weapons like AGM-158A JASSM, JSM/NSM, Storm-Shadow/SCALP-EG, Taurus KEPD-350, SOM-J, etc then they're still bigger than IWB, but they can be...

A collage of CAD of current MR-BVR-AAMs. Their edges had to be cleaned in MS-paint in PNG format for good superimposition. Top to bottom: PL-15 Astr Mk1 Astr Mk3 SFDR R-77-1 Meteor AIM-120-D AMRAAM

I was going to create a generic global thread 6 months back but didn't. For now, bcoz all these jets are in conceptual phase & unrevealed yet, except B-21, J-36, J-50 upon whom also only preliminary visual stuff available, so i'll create a generic thread for all. For the revealed ones, members...

@Nilgiri Are there no threads for global 6th gen jets - NGAD, F/A-XX, FCAS, GCAP, B-21, etc? I saw only 2 Chinese specfic threads.
