Lot of this tech is reverse engineered from Roswell and incorporates an evolution of earth based jet propulsion which is inferior compared to that produced from Zeta Reticuli. The F-117 design is similar that the craft at Roswell, according to the daughter of an officer in charge of the R&D who kept a cryptic journal for her to later read. You can see the R&D come to fruition in the Naval Patents posted under Salvator Pais. In contrast the iconic Flying Saucer UFO is the Huanebu, which is the reverse engineering of Vimana’s from the Bharat Civilization (8,000BCE-2,000BCE) . The Bell shape on top of every Hindu Temple represents a Vimana. The SS E-IV (Entwicklungsstelle 4), which was an R&D Unit to the SS’s Occult “Order of the Black Sun”, was tasked in researching alternative sources of energy to allow for the Reich to achieve Energy Independence. This research was done in conjunction with the Thule Society who were in search of the Aryan Origins, being the Gods of Indo-European ‘myth’, leading them into India and Tibet where they obtained the knowledge to produce the iconic ‘Flying Saucer’.

Another important factor of 4G fighters and the reason they added fly by wire is relaxed stability. This give the aircraft incredible ability but make it technically unflyable. They require 1000s of input corrections every second just to fly the plate straight and level. Enter flu by wire. It maintains a mathematical model of the aircraft in the computer and only the computer has access to the flight controls. 1000s of times a second it uses onboard sensors to update the state of the model. Now you add the pilot. They input what they want the aircraft to do, say, roll Now, 1000s of times a second time computer takes the pilots inputs, subtracts from them the current balancing inputs calculated from the model and sensors and send _that_ too the control surfaces. Now the plane rolls and to the pilot it's a traditional natural stability aircraft.

Whenever I hear about the next generation of fighters, I always get anxious because I cannot wait to watch an airplane reach very high Mach speed!! And by very high, I mean at least Mach 3.5!

[@thatguyalex2835]

Who knows, the F-38 (or whatever the F-XX would be named) could go Mach 3. :)

[@myusername3689]

The material science is a bit…… off….. tho. Mach 3 makes the aircraft really hot and s ducts probably are not very practical for that kind of speed since it massively adds drag which would require much more powerful engines. Not to mention RAM coatings would probably be obliterated by the air friction. But who knows, maybe that kind of engine and material science is actually possible but classified.

[@SoloRenegade]

fighter jets have been slowing down. With missiles, drones, and smart weapons, speed for the fighter plane is no longer critical. Speed of the weapon is still important though. F-35, F-18 and others don't even go Mach 2, and weren't designed to, nor required to.

[@hrvojemikulcic7074]

How will make a engine..!?How many fuel can fit into tank of plane...!?10 tons?15 tons?

Honestly speed isn’t necessarily the goal anymore. It’s all about stealth and long range attacks. The faster a plane needs to go, the more expensive it becomes (we are talking about exponential price increases here).

[@JMurph2015]

As someone who has no insider knowledge right now, my prediction is that we will see more of the YF-23 design someday. At the time, the USAF was mad at Northrop for blowing the budget on the B-2 program, so at least partially due to that, the YF-23 narrowly lost that bid. I think a slightly larger, 2-seated version of that with completely modernized engines and avionics seems really compelling for a 2030's fighter jet. The way air combat has changed in recent years has really gone right according to plan for the YF-23 even compared to the F-22. The game is less about turn-fighting and more about how quickly, quietly, and effectively you can get in and get back out. The F-35 claims to embrace that same ethos, but it is not nearly as stealthy as the F-22 (let alone the YF-23 which was rumored to be slightly stealthier), it can't carry more than a few hundred miles of fuel, and its single engine is overburdened with how chunky it got. Both the F-22 and YF-23 still have better kinematics than the F-35 despite their superior stealth and range.

[@Aaron-wq3jz]

Most of that was correct but the F35 has more range and capability than u think

[@noncog1]

Japan's 6th gen is using the yf-23 as a starting point

[@LRRPFco52]

The YF-23 represented more risk since it had several problems in DEMVAL. * They cracked several wind screens according to test pilot Paul Metz. * They were not able to reach Mach 2 due to intake geometry and boundary layer control. * They did not demonstrate weapons storage or separation. * They doubled the control surface actuator count to get the wings clean from any bulbous fairings common to other aircraft. JSF are actually more stealthy than the Raptor from frontal aspect, oblique, and rear since Lot 4. They use more CF structures, which are RF permeable/non-reflective. F-35A has longer mission radius than the Raptor on internal fuel. Same with F-35C. In large force exercises, JSF regularly defeat F-22s and prevent them from attacking Blue Forces. This has been true since 2017. F-22 was cheated out of its AIRST, so it has no long range IR detection sensors as originally planned.

[@JMurph2015]

@@LRRPFco52 to be fair I had somehow not seen the reports of the JSF's stealth improving in the early 2010's. Its shaping is much sloppier than either ATF plane, but evidently the new structures/coatings that were added to the JSF make up for a lot of it. Also, while their mission radius is stated as close to or exceeding the Raptors, the fact that the ferry range is still somewhat lower even on the F-35A makes me think there are different definitions of "mission radius" being used.

[@sevrent2811]

6th gen imo should have 1. AI/ML to integrate and condense information for the pilot 2. Integration of sensors, and the ability to network with any military asset. For example, the targeting information from the jet is able to be communicated to another jet, or warships/ground systems etc. This can allow the fighters to target and destroy using weapons from other sources. Interestignly, this is something the US is already working on with JADC2. Recently an F35 was able to send 3. High speed. super cruise should be between mach 1.8-2.0. Afterburner should reach mach 2.5 minimum 4. Longer range. Especially important for naval variant, because countries like China are making missiles to deny carriers from operating near their coast. Longer range jets allow carriers to be sationed farther away and still project force, or do much deeper strikes 5. Stealth. (obvious) Removal of tail seems to be the meta for 6th gen, significantly improves stealth and less drag. 6. Integration with drones. Drones would be a game changer, because they can allow the fighter to turn radars off and remain very well hidden; while drones can scout ahead to gain information and send it back to the fighter. The drones do the risky tasks that would be to much of a risk for manned fighters to do. Losing a drone is no where near as bad as losing an entire jet along with a very well trained pilot. 7. Enhanced ECM. For the US, doing SEAD/DEAD operations is very important, especially after Desert Storm. ECM and other measures to degrade enemy radars, and missiles greatly enhance SEAD capabilities. Overall, the US is well positioned for 6th gen. The US already has very advanced engines under development (AETP) they've already built prototypes for. The new engines are stated to have around 15% more thrust, 25% better fuel efficiency, and 50% better thermal management compared to the F135, which is the most powerful jet engine right now. With these stats, 6th gen engines should be pushing around 210kn of thrust which is insane. The better thermal management, and power also makes laser weapons, and more powerful radars possible as well; keep in mind F-XX will most likely have 2 of these engines installed. Infact these engines are poised to be placed in F-35's by 2027. Advance engines are going to be required for 6th gen, China is behind in engine technology; only just now capable of designing engines comparable to the F22 raptor, whose engines represent US technology from the late 80s and early 90s. Meanwhile Russia has budgeting problems. Europe has the money, and the know how to make 6th gen engines as well. Rolls Royce knows what they are doing. Japan also started to investigate engine technology early on as well.

I think the next generation of aerial combat will not compose of a single aircraft, but a system composed of aircrafts specialised in various roles. From small to large, the smallest units will be autonomous drones. They are small, cheap and exceptionally manoeuvrable (able to pull intense manoeuvres that no human can handle). They will act as a defence role, intercepting enemy aircraft and missiles, sacrificing themselves to protect larger allied aircrafts. Quite defenceless on their own, but quite formidable in swarms. Specialised aircrafts, these includes interceptors, e-war aircrafts, hypersonic recons, and surface attack aircrafts. These can be manned or unmanned, each can relay command signals, they are responsible for offensive actions and are dependant on each other. Central command aircraft, these are the moving command stations of the Air Force, they do the support role, away from the front line. It will coordinate the numerous drones and manned aircrafts. Although it does not pack offensive weaponry, it has a laser defence array and a powerful jamming device, which can seriously mess with any missiles that come in its way.

Gen 4++ and Gen 5 have one other ability that defines them, and that is sensor fusion. People don't like to talk about it, but Sensor Fusion is just as important as stealth. Situation Awareness is VERY important in air to air and air to ground combat and 5th gen has it like nothing else.

[@kathrynck]

I rather suspect that Roper was talking about the Boeing Wingman. Assuming he was talking about an NGAD platform which is nearly operational and could be considered a "prototype". If on the other hand, he was talking about a tech demonstrator to test features, it could just be a 4th gen aircraft which has modifications to test out some ideas in the air. Much like the X-31 was during the ATF program. News outlets infer far too much into exactly what Roper said.

[@NinjaKiller1022]

No military equipment or weapons program is safe from hiccups and issues. The F-35 may have issues, but it is a very capable 5th generation fighter, and it will only get better with time and tuning. And the F-22 wont be phased out as quickly as people think, as it is currently under more modernization. Nevertheless, I’m extremely excited to see a 6th Generation Figher, and what it will bring to the battle field. One thing I love about the US military programs, they keep their programs mostly or completely under secrecy.

[@archer1133]

I think the F22 will be phased out quickly due to the fact the Air Force is cutting the budget for the program, and not maintaining the stealth coating on the aircraft that are in service.

[@NinjaKiller1022]

@@archer1133 that’s simply not true. The USAF continues to procure funding to upgrade the F22.

[@archer1133]

@@NinjaKiller1022 Although they may be upgrading a few aircraft (like the chrome raptors), the government has cut money from the program and has allocated that money to F-15EXs and other aircraft. Just look up "F22 budget cut" to see more details I guess.

[@NinjaKiller1022]

@@archer1133 I see what you are saying. But contrary to what is being told to the public, funding had not been cut for the F22 and it’s modernization. The government had stopped production of the jet, with the last one rolling off the production line back in 2012. The government has an obligation to keep modernizing the jet well past its last delivery. As someone that works with people, that work with this program, there has been no cut. It was the same when we were working on the EFV. The news was pushing that we had cut funding for and stopped operating on the EFV, when in reality, that was not the case. Furthermore, I don’t doubt that the US is allocating funds elsewhere, there’s a lot that we don’t know, or will ever know.

[@chrissmith-rv5ro]

I don't know if the Navy can maintain RAM at sea. The planes live on the flight deck for 6-7 months or longer with constant UV and salt spray. Look at the F35Cs on their first deployment. They look rusted. Stealth at sea may require a new carrier. One where the flight deck is below deck, and maintenance is done topside. Launch out of the bow.

That would make landing very difficult because you're now aiming for a hole instead of a flat deck

[@seanbigay1042]

All this talk of fighter generations leads me to share what I find to be quite a sobering observation ... There were at best only three AIRCRAFT generations between the Wright Flyer which first flew in 1903, and the A-12 Cygnus which first flew in 1962. The Wright Flyer was a string-and-canvas butterfly which flew no higher than thirty feet off the ground, at no more than 30 miles an hour. The A-12 Cygnus was the interceptor version of what became the SR-71 Blackbird. It was a fire-breathing dragon that flew at an altitude of AT LEAST 85,000 feet and a speed of AT LEAST Mach 3.1 ... faster than a speeding bullet. From butterfly to dragon in sixty years. Think about it seriously, and you begin to understand what Alvin Toffler meant by future shock.

The F/A-XX is the US Navy's 6th Gen fighter and it replaces the F/A-18 Hornet, The NGAD Program (FX or PCA) is the US Air Force's 6th Gen Fighter which replaces the F-22 Raptor (not sure if it replaces it)

If you notice most of US NAVY jets now use design and placement to get High Alpha. The US Navy uses mathematics to adjust the center of gravity and center of lift to achieve rocking moments to achieve high alphas

[@NOVAPHANTOM9]

@@rgloria40 hm, yes. But in this concept, it has some Canards like the J-20 or sorts but i think (based on my research) it will reduce the stealthiness of an aircraft unless if they reconstruct the Canards in some diamond shape or sorts or add it with RAM Coating. It'll be fine. Thus, it must carry a huge payload so its gonna be a CHUNKY aircraft where its compatible in launcing on the USS Nimitz & USS Gerald R. Ford and maybe some future Carriers (sorta).

[@tammyforbes2101]

We need UAV fighter air craft, take the pilot out of the air plane so we can fly them farther faster and into more dangerous places without worrying about loosing a valuable pilot! We can make more UAV’s but it takes lot of time and money to make competitive pilots. Imagine being in a Russian jet and having to face a pack of UAV F-22 raptors that can pull 30 G’s where you could only pull 10 for very short periods of time. You loose you die we loose we just make another UAV and send that one after you to. This is where war is headed get the people out of there let them machines settle it if we must fight!
