Doesn’t make my statement false does it? The tempest hasn’t flown, the NGAD has.
They have agreements inplace deal was signed in 22. They are working on it.
A new power plant is being tested.
And the NGAD has already flown, its powerplant isn’t merely “being tested”. And again, doesn’t make my statement false.
it seems one of the 3 main things theyre advertising it to have, is a bigger alternator lol
It not even for domestic use IIRC
Youtubers and China have im yet to see an official release from Washington regarding this new airframe.
If you have one please share :)
Isnt it, like, early morning for them?
I’ve already shared the quotes that prove it has flown, the US certainly isn’t going to leak classified info about the NGAD lol
If China is dumb enough to show this to the entire world like the US has done with their F-22, It’s not my fault is it? :D
well the US govt denied the existence of the 117 until 1988, YF-117A flew 1981
same thing is almost certainly happening with NGAD

Electric power is interesting as a way to drive a RAM/SCRAM jet
its neither, u can literally see the turbine blades on the engine in the official website
Seems very fishy at best that NGAD has flown. I wouldn’t doubt prototypes for various individual parts were made, but NGAD flying 4 years ago seems unlikely. My best guess is this refers to either simulations with wind tunnel models or unmanned aircraft.
Maybe once there is actual images or documentation of this I will believe it, but by similar statements a lot of aircraft flew that we know for a fact never did.

I know, but to hit the speeds required it cant be a standard turbine
PLEASE GAIJIN
what are the required speeds?
woah what is that
you never seen tirpitz ?
What can I tell you? The man in charge of the project said it had flown, what can we do more than this? Go through classified USAF documents?
To me the fishy thing here is that the Chinese 6th gen has already flown even if they were decades behind the USA not a while ago, and that their 6th gen program started after the USAF’s.
Images don’t prove anything.
Well, you’re in luck! Will Roper has stated the NGAD has flown in September 2020.
yes ive seen it, but im not great at recognize batlship except for iowa class
oh
