because it uses F414 engines making it weaker than F-47 just like I will call b21 6th gen F/A-XX is and can be considered 5.5++ gen which is what it is even with “all aspects” stealth which will be a struggle with F414 engines
The engine chosen doesn’t matter, if enough other features match up with what ends up being considered 6th gen
why cant we call an upgraded F22 or f-35 6th gen? it isn’t going to be as insane as people would think its a mass produced maybe exported F-47 the contract itself is smaller than F-47 much smaller
Because they are established as 5th gen
We won’t know how “insane” or not the planes are going to be once they actually get revealed and enter production. Right now all that can be done is speculation.
Its not speculation when the USA itself says they will use F414 engines which lack the tech as NGAP engines since we know it will likely be a bit better than F414 engines on F18E it still wont become a new engine with anti thermal signature there are 2 options: Usa navy is trolling to trick people or us Navy is dead serious and F/A-XX is a all aspect stealth f18E
My brother in Christ
The engine doesn’t decide what generation a plane is going to be considered part of
They’re free to play the game as they wish
We love one-death-leaving
Especially now that people get free back-ups and additional vehicles to spawn
what even is “6th gen” tech when a plane is using 4.5 gen tech in a extremely important area of the jet likely THE MOST important part of a modern plane it has “6th” gen sensors and bla bla but it wont do much the f18E cant do
We don’t know what tech the final F/A-XX is going to use.
We don’t know what the specifications of the J-36 and J-50 are either, but they already are regarded as 6th gen.
You wanna know why? Because they aren’t part of the current fighter jet generation. They are being developed to replace the 5th gen fighters that currently are in service.
no calling out players against the roles since you showed the names and called 1 death leavers
“just make your plane a chip and it will be 6th gen” I’m not calling j50 any kind of gen until I see it is more than a chip with engines and wheels just like how we KNOW the F414 engines are being used INSTEAD??? of something like new f15EX engines F/A-XX a overall CHEAP AND AFFORDABLE and problably going to be exported to NATO allies plane , F-47 on the other hand has engines that WE KNOW are the most advanced on earth USA keeps things like x-36 and paints them with “new” missiles and tech
who told you it had F414’s? given the size of the renders it might be twin F135’s as the initial engine
Aight, I’m done.
You go on with your own made up fighter jet generation system.
The rest of the world will go with the generally agreed upon classification system.
USA Navy
Trump appeared in his dreams and told him so
i never said its NOT 6th gen I said it is really a allespect super hornet so it can be considered 5.5++ gen the classification system is Broken already when 5th gen prototypes have all aspect stealth
when did they say this?
