The United States Air Force is now officially developing its 6th-gen fighter 🧐
so it may not be feasible for them to take on a new ambitious project like developing a new fighter. According to industry experts like Aboulafia, the most likely scenario is to have Lockheed Martin lead the project since they already have tons of experience developing the stealth-capable fifth-gen“There were rumors that Boeing was not out of it. And the rebuttal to that rumor is that they can prototype, but can they really build a clean sheet combat aircraft?”.
Later in April, Kendall told lawmakers that the NGAD fighter would cost “multiple hundreds of millions of dollars” per plane and would be accompanied by drones and other systems that are “not as expensive and give overall mission capability.” However, if true, the cost of the new fighter program would likely dwarf even the incredibly expensive F-22. It is also unclear how or whether the new fighter will replace currently in operation.
Not only that, but there are still many unknowns about the proposed fighters' capabilities, armaments, etc.
