6th Gen Jets in the USA it will most likely be Lockheed Martin vs Northrop Grumman vs Boeing.

Usa will try to please them all by giving them separate contracts.

USA will likely to keep its qualitative air and naval dominance throughout 2060s

Mr Kotil: "We installed the front landing gear of the National Combat Aircraft (MMU) yesterday. We also install the rear landing gear today"

What documentary?

Anyway, my previous assumption was probably wrong. Because I learned that there will be an auto cannon with a caliber of 30x110 mm in TFX. I thought TFX wouldn't have auto cannon.

I have shared it before. It has some interesting inputs and pov.

Hello everyone, does anyone have weight specs for 4 main parts of TF-X?

We know forward-center fuselage is 1.7 tons and center fuselage is around 3.9 tons

Do we know about forward and aft fuselage?

Because even with the bigger size, TF-X seems to be LIGHTER than F-22

What about weight of engines,landing gears,tails ,other components ,avionics and cables ?
It is for sure will be at least 18-20 tonnes

See some figures of f-22 and compare the values of tfx

I just finished watching, thank you. The Soviets had ideas well ahead of their time when it came to the design of aircraft. Just like the designs that inspired the Harrier and much later the F-35B. I also know well that there are stealth aircraft designs but they never go into production.

In this respect, we acquired one of these designs, which could not be put into production, from Ukraine and told British&Ukraine senior engineers, "You will base this on TFX design." It is quite possible that we have given the order.

I still don't understand why people on this forum are reacting so strongly to this, BTW.

Well yes, but they won't be much of a difference, and actually TF-X might have lighter vertical stabilisators as they are smaller, wing and horizontal stabs are nearly the same size
