CAUTION - EVERYONE CAN HAVE THEIR OPINION BUT DO NOT COMPARE WITH GHATAK, CATS WARRIOR, ETC. > Few months back in post #331 on page 17 i showed that Astr-1 cannot be staggered & only 4x possible in IWB. > Then a modified Astr-2 with short fin to aid in staggered positions in the IWB which would...

Since 1988 after revealing F-117, B-2 then YF-22/23 it has been now 37 years now into 5gen stealth era. India had IT boom in 1990s. We have much better Supercomputers than Param-2000. We've developed RAS, RAM now. This is the era of AI/ML which were engineering college subjects in 2000s also...

I should have posted this before F-47 announcement when advertisements about the preliminary NGAD design speculations of delta, cropped diamond wings were floating. So Versions 4, 5 related to that. And then V6c like SR-72, Darkstar.;):cool:

Some new poor quality images of TEDBF have emerged. It looks like modified Rafale. Even after IN indicating 5gen TEDBF, AFAIK there is no official response from ADA on it.

Version 3a & 3b with Lambda wing getting popular & nose triangular & double delta.

For AHCA to be naval stealth jet, we should have some size reference. On AMCA thread i showed comparison of AMCA & F-18 SH naval jet in medium class. A naval jet & a heavy class means Su-33 as best current example. A stealth jet & heavy class means F-22 as best current example. Let's compare...

Some people say that heavy class 6gen fighter RFI/RFP might get launched soon. https://idrw.org/6th-generation-fighter-plans-to-follow-while-amca-enters-trial-phase-iaf-official/ https://idrw.org/2040-india-eyes-2040-for-6th-gen-fighter-concept-with-double-amca-range-payload/ From IADN on FB:

USA, China, Russia, UK, all jet makers surprise the world suddenly revealing their new jets. But our Indian DoD is over-honest on release dates, that too exceptionally late. 🤦‍♂️:ROFLMAO:

Artist Rodrigo Avella & some others made a CAD earlier speculated to be tail-less F/A-XX with canards. Almost same model w/o canards have been depicted as NGAD, sometimes with rudders. Comparing it with F-22, equalized at cockpit, looks like following:

while searching for F-18 SH's stealth pod, i found F-18 SH stealth derivative by some artist on Reddit site: () BTW, this is 11 years ago Unfortunately 2D views of this 3D art are not available. We also had a caret-intake model earlier & F-18 SH has such identical intakes. So just for the...

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...
