Yeah that GCAP model is not final
“We’ll continue to test and evolve the design, as we move closer towards the next phase of the programme.”
Actually there seems to be some variations on each nations GCAP designs so we wont really know untill we see a prototype
For example this was shown in 2024 from IHI

Design is vastly different which by now 2025 might have even changed already.
Canard on a stealth fighter? Are they high? Am I missing something?
No! It has (arbitrary nonsense) and that makes it worse than Su-30! It should be 13.7 and premium
Here’s one thing we’re gonna agree on.
canards easily help it fly at high speed without vertical stabilizer
Neither the J-36 nor the J-50 have vertical slabs or even canards.
The J-50 seems to have slightly tilted upward wing tips, like some other concept i don’t remember
Pretty sure those are all moving wingtips as a control surface.
I just wanna say, to all the people hating on the J-20 for having canards saying the canards ruin the RCS of the plane, where are you now?
there are 2 ngad renders and one of them looks like it has canards while the other doesnt.
also, on the J-20 the canards move which affects RCS. while the NGAD one does not appear to be able to move
they said it would cost less than an F-22
New fully leaked real design for the F-47 is already in War Thunder AcTuaLlY:
(Only post-WW2 USAF 1947+ aviation fans will get this):
Wow, how they hid the engines.
having damn sexual fantasies about america XDDDDD , you should accept that the United States has already been surpassed.
our Mr. Trump only needs to announce what he wants to do, and whether he succeeds or not is not important. he just needs to make some people psychologically feel that America is great. and take all the credit onto oneself.
just like some believers like to say that J20 has duckwings, so it is not invisible. but now the 6th generation american aircraft also has duckwings, and those believers say: now it can become invisible.
XDDD
LOL, from concept drawing to service in 4 years… I will believe it when I see it, the F-35 is still randomly falling out of the sky and that had a flying prototype 23 years ago. It took 5 years to go from prototype to production model and took 9 years from 1st production variant to entering service.
Might as well just have LERX if you’re going to use canards that are fixed.
The effect of canards on RCS is overblown tbh, there are many ways to mitigate the radar return through dihedral, having software that limits the movement, edge serration treatment, and of course RAM coating, etc.
america technology is number one in world
hahahahahahaha XD
Sounds like someone is getting political here…
I’m not sure your rant was based on the fact you hate the F-47 more so America in general…
Can we stay on topic?
