Please prove that vert stabilizer does not have drag if I don’t know what I’m talking about. And please prove that extra surface area has no effect on RCS.
All true 6th gen do not have vertical stabilizer for a reason
(Btw, @Ace_of_LuftWaffe can tell you that we’ve actually known about NGAD X-planes for some time now)
its their point to have a bit of drag. Its like the centreboard on a yacht, STABILISES it. Does that alone prove one worse than the other? no
we are not in the 6th gen of aircraft yet this is a farcical statement.
*you
*all of us. this plane is not in service
and Jaguar has driven their model 00 several times, still concept
And? 6th generation fighter airframe exist. It’s like saying YF-22 is not a 5th gen airframe
we dont count testbeds and prototypes in the same class as adopted service vehicles
Extraordinary ugly, both Chinese prototypes are way better looking.
Especially that glorious triple afterburner
It looks AI generated. They all fairly ugly imo. Peaked with 4th gen
That’s because it’s an artists rendition

Yeah ik, talking about the triple afterburner lol
It’s not, it’s a real picture and once it’s shown at Zhuhai (probably next year) and the real cameras can get it it’ll be beautiful
I know it’s a real picture, its a joke because nothing else has triple afterburner setup and that looks like something early AI would make
Sorry, it’s been a long day and I’ve been working on translating some Chinese brochures so everything is a little too literal right now
Oh my god I hope that’s a joke even with both my eyes popped out the F-47 would be substantially better looking, thanks for posting this ugly picture now I have to bleach my eyes again.
Indeed we’ve known about it for quite some time now.
I cannot fw a name like F-47 though. Should been F-44 or F-48
Yeah it does stand out a bit… F-44 would have been pretty cool. But it’s a gift to the president so why not? At least the backstory is nice
Yeah.
47 is just taken by so many things already. P-47, AK-47, Su-47, M47
