- Video description: Two nations which are the biggest threats to USA is Russia and China. China is the pacing challenge, and they are actively working to erode US competitive advantages. The US Air Force is pursuing a number of upgrades and modifications to address those new challenges. Streamlining and updating the fighter fleet has been a particular focus. Many fighters are still underdevelopment and will take to the skies in the foreseeable future. This video presents the 8 upcoming Combat Jets of USA.
Enjoy watching. Cheers!

The Kingsnake is just a proposal. Honestly it just undercuts the economy of scale for the F-35, which negates it's purpose of saving money. (cool looking F-16 update idea though)
The visual look of the NGAD and FA-XX are entirely artistic guesswork at this point in time. And the laser weapons are likely not going to be standard equipment, but rather an optional ordinance package, carried on 'some' but not all planes. There's a decent chance both designs being optionally manned as well.
The Kingsnake looks like a re-work of the F-16 XL's developed to research super cruise capability.
@@eventingcrazy Well technically the F-16XL was intended as an enhanced ground attack version of the F-16. But it was kinda heavy on the original P&W F100 engine, so it's fighter capability was not great. And it competed with the F-15E for for a deep strike role to replace the F-111. It couldn't really keep up with the 15E in terms of payload & range. Mostly it ended up just testing the crank-arrow delta wing design.
NASA got ahold of it a couple years later, and stuck a more modern engine in it with about 20% more thrust, the P&W F110. It did do supercruise on that engine. Though it would probably have been unlikely to supercruise with any kind of ordinance load on it. But it was always a very interesting plane.
The kingsnake idea is definitely based on the F-16XL. The twin tails would add a bit of drag, and their placement is awkward vs the center of gravity. But with the F119 engine, or perhaps a version of the F135 engine, it could probably supercruise with ordinance on it, and dogfight pretty effectively. It would make a very cool gen 4.5 plane. But it sure as hell wouldn't be cheap.
The problem with the Kingsnake idea is that it's intended way to save money from the F-35 program. But frankly the F-35 unit cost is actually very affordable, it couldn't really beat it there. And any money it saves in ongoing operational costs would show up in increased costs for the F-35's as their economy of scale would be shrunk by procuring smaller numbers. Plus there's development costs, and a relatively huge cost of setting up a production line. I don't think it could actually save any money at all. And the F-35 is considerably more survivable and deadly than the Kingsnake would be. Even in visual range.
The kingsnake though, is not an official proposal. It's a concept put together by fighter plane enthusiasts as a hobby.
As much as my inner aerospace nerd would like to see it fly, just because it's new and different and interesting, I don't think the Kingsnake (or any other 'new' 4.5 gen) makes much sense to pursue. Either USAF CoS Brown was just trying to scare international F-35 parts suppliers into stepping up their production rate & improving pricing, or he's not very smart, or he has a personal financial motivation.
The sound financial approach to keep operating improved versions of existing legacy 4th gen (like the F-15EX, or the Viper block 70, or the Super Hornet) with production lines already in operation. Or really push the F-35's economy of scale into better territory. My money's on some of the former, and some of the latter. Definitely want to get at least 1000 F-35A, and at least 300 each of F-35B and C. 1600 domestic units, plus foreign sales, would put the F-35 in very healthy economy of scale territory, and drive per unit & per hour costs down. Finland's recent purchase shows that the cost is continuously coming down, they paid just $73m each for theirs, making it the second cheapest option of the competitors for the contract.
Most of the high cost of the F-35 was the development program. That's water under the bridge now. Failing to procure what cost a fortune to develop, is the special olympics way to spend on defense. But I would expect "some" new F-15EX's, F-16 block 70's, and F-18E's, which are all effectively gen 4.5. Just because they are somewhat cheaper to operate long term, and some sorties don't require the much more extensive capabilities of the F-35.
Obivously the AF & Navy might want to adjust their plans somewhat based on how the NGAD & FA-XX are going. Or mix in more updated gen 4.5 legacy aircraft for cost savings. But a new whole new production line for gen 4.6/4.7 makes little sense. Even if CoS Brown really likes 300ZX sports cars.

@@GhostRillley Finally? Lol you're at least a decade late on that revelation.
@John Grigg Well it's infinitely easier to respond to videos or comments than it is to create videos :P
The "F-36 Kingsnake" is a fantasy. It's basically somebody's "what-if" if they brought back the F-16XL.
I always liked that B1R concept to work with our reduced production F22 fleet.
I think the Kingsnake fits in that same “what if” as that unfortunately.
My thought too, simply a modified F-16XL, which should have been produced earlier.
@@lancerevell5979 The F-36 concept has the same problem that the actual F-15EX has: Unless the Air Force is willing to procure it in comparable quantity to the F-35 (which it can't for a variety of reasons), it's going to be more expensive than the F-35, negating the primary claimed justification for its existence (to be a cheaper "lo" version of the F-35).
The REAL justification for the F-36 is people getting butthurt over the idea of stealth fighters replacing "real" fighters (i.e. visual-range turn-and-burn dogfighters).
Someone I know who used to work on the airforce has stated clearly that the F-36 Kingsnake is literally under development… DEVELOPMENT
@@fishsquishguy1833 x
Thing is, we had been working on stealth technology for over a decade already, when the info was leaked to the public in the late 70s. So no matter how bad ass some other country thinks their stealth is, we have better.
If only we had looked at the HO-229, and were like, hmmmm. Let’s fly it a little, then check it’s radar signature and gone. Wow, we can’t see it like other planes. Then investigated further.
NAZI Germany had a Stealth bomber made of Wood and Carbon - Iron skin.
they also equipped NAZI subs with Rubber hull coating. - Anti Sonar. and NVH.
@@markplott4820 You mean the HO 229. The jet fighter that wasn't even a little bit stealth? It was planned to be stealth, but it never made it that far in production. Modern engineers highly doubt it would have been stealth anyway.
@@righty-o3585 - NOPE, I am talking about the Wodden long range NAZI bomber , using Doped wings.
@@markplott4820 I know what you are talking about. And you are wrong.
Nice one
Awesome
Under development and underdevelopment have entirely different meanings
I enjoy your series on military hardware
Ok, here's the problem with the x-gen fighter marketing schtick. Why should the DOD, buy an all new airframe design? Only if it's substantially better than existing designs.
By1960, the Mach 2.5 air friction speed limit was discovered. Ten years later with the appearance of the F-16. The upper limits on dogfighting performance, had likewise been discovered. Pilot g-force tolerance of 9 G. Fighters like the F-16, can kill by turning too sharply. The pilot passes out, the plane crashes.
In the 1940's it was possible to build a high performance aircraft like the P-51, with comparative ease. Today, building an all new airframe design is incredibly expensive.
So why should the US Navy, or the US Airforce build an ALL new airframe? Keep in mind, this is the baseline airframe hardware design.
If an all new airframe is NOT going to be a substantial improvement over the existing F-14, F-15, F-16, F-18 airframes, why build it?
What's changed since 1970, is better computers, improved radars, longer range and more reliable air to air missiles. Also improved ECM/ESM. As well as, improved targeting and tracking capabilities. One of the biggest changes has been greatly improved engines.
As the F-35, has shown much about how hotter "super cruising" engines have a whole range of additional problems. While in a dogfight, that additional energy can make all the difference. It's a double edged sword. As additional engine power under afterburners, can easily push a fighter, past mach 2.5. Unless the airframe is constructed of titanium and composite ceramics. The airframe overheats and breaks up.
This is why, we are not seeing a lot of competition for new fighters. The company making a "bid." Can't afford to lose the contract. Assuming that one is awarded. This is why they won't place the F-22 back into production.
The original contract was canceled, so it's rather unlikely that the contracting company made any money on the deal. So? Putting the fighter back into production? Means compensation to that contractor for their loses. Then fully funding all future production. So it's just not worth the cost.
@@gnarlax2005 Yea but, is a basic sort of animal. Close to an ah gee, but not really the same at all. Lots of dumb critters in our world. Yea buts, remain near the top! Lol!
The defense industry has always been 1 part verifiable information. 2 parts face saving, and 4 parts bragging/marketing. All followed by a lot of speculation. It's classified! That's all we get to know.
The industry needs to differentiate a new product from the old. New contracts can be more profitable along with the expectation, that the new product will be a substantial improvement. The F-22 despite all reputation of being "the best," is out of production. That means that it's not! Not really. Stealth is very expensivr, and vulnerable to countermeasures. Once the stealth features are countered? The cost of the program is a liability.
@@gnarlax2005 No, but your humor is fully developed 👍🏼
@@scottjackson5173 you’re basing all of your information on a jet that would be piloted by a human. Imagine a jet that can fly within or out of our atmosphere. A jet that can perform g-turns that would make any pilot pass out. This jet could be remote piloted or fully autonomous, and then Imagine that jet being able to release a payload from space that creates so much speed that it can destroy an entire carrier ship/ destroyer just based on the kinetic speed that it has coming through the atmosphere from space. That is our future 6th generation plane. If it isn’t, it damn well better be because if they can create something like that, then it would be unstoppable. No SAM or any other 4th or even 5th generation fighter (SU-57, J-20) could compete. This is what I think the US military is up to right now. Nothing would be able to stop it nor would the enemy radars spot something the size of a mosquito at that altitude……it could be game changing on the battlefield. The higher you are from your enemy, the more of an advantage you have…..
@@ajfannin5496 I have indeed imagined such a potentially dangerous jet. Electronic Warfare was my specialty, that's the Achilles heel of the idea. It wasn't so long ago that Iran proudly displayed an ultra top secret stealth drone. That had operated in Iranian airspace. Jamming isolated the drone from control, while hackers successfully managed to take over and land it. Sharing top secret stealth technology with the Russians.
I think that small short range combat drones should be major part of air defense in depth. Remote operations are another matter. So? Think it ALL THE WAY THROUGH! Do you really want flying murder robots over your head? Something that any half decent hacker could exploit?
At 3:01 you have a Super Hornet with a Royal Canadian Air Force emblem. We only have F18A/B up here in Canada, no Super Hornets. We put in an order for 88 new F35B/C's this year, so no plans for Super Hornet
Is it just me or does the Kingsnake look like a updated F-16XL?
just thought the same thing
It's an imaginary plane, probably a fantasy of someone who would like to see the F16 being upgraded to become a 6th generation fighterjet.
It pretty much is that. The XL adds more range and payload, but has some shortcomings in a dogfight VS the original Viper. It should be better in BVR engagements and SEAD though, and will use the same parts support pipeline.
Wasn't there a super maneuverable Viper that NASA made? Also, are avionics advanced enough for the reverse swept wings to work and not kill the pilot?
@@jeffreyhill1011 Do you mean the x29? That was a converted Northrop F5a
That f18 block three is a thing of Beauty
The king snake and the 2 new stealth jets look NICE.
Wow great job I wanna going your amazing company
FX/X looks like a space ship from movies!
I just played this video with closed captions on and It’s epic😂
I love TH-cam videos when somebody talks about top ecret military equipments or weapon systems, that nobody knows yet.
Maybe a super-cruising stealth airframe with a high-powered laser that gives it a sure-kill radius. The laser is used both in offense and also defense against incoming missiles.
It won't carry missiles itself (internals dedicated to power generation for the laser) but will be able to take out enemy fighters once it gets within range, and if it comes up against enemy aircraft without guns (like the J-20) then it is virtually immune to return fire.
The video states that it has hardpoints for missiles. But I agree, it would need quite the powerplant and electronics package to power a laser that can cut through anything at great distance.
I wonder if it would target the cockpit of an enemy jet, or just get the laser on the jet as best as possible and stick it in the same place. I imagine any penetration at basically any point on an enemy fighter with a laser would put it out of commission.
What's the power source?
The latest Fox-2's aren't fooled by flares, and can loop back for another run with vectored thrust if you can dodge them. The Russian SU-57 has an active laser "dazzler" intended to blind such missiles, but a missile could potentially ride such a laser to it's source, if it isn't juicy enough to cook the seeker. The Geneva Convention may forbid blinding lasers, but I still wouldn't go flying the unfriendly skies without polarized mirror shades.
Why not just make a kill drone that sits in the sky loitering around the battlefield until an enemy comes within radar and then that kill drone goes on a self destruct mission to take out any intruder whether it be a plane or oncoming missile/ ICBM? Forget the laser mumbo jumbo. Keep it simple, keep it cheap.
@@ajfannin5496 loitering ammunitions already exist
I'm surprised to an Osean E/A-18G in this video.
Aircraft have advanced to a point where their speed and manoeuvrability is more limited by what the pilot can endure than by the construction of the aircraft itself.
Actually the speed of the latest generation fighters is slower than the 4th generation jets (ie. F-15 Mach 2.5 vs. F-35 Mach 1.6) because they don't need it, their stealth and superscruising ability are what matters these days.
@@andres1xy I had heard that modern fighter jets are slower, and I understand why. I was just saying that we probably have the ability these days to make them faster and more manoeuvrable than ever, but that kind of speed and manoeuvrability isn't as necessary as it used to be. Dogfights rarely occur anymore, and missiles are too fast and agile to reliably avoid without countermeasures and stealth technology.
@@Ben_Kimber someone said in another post that future warfare will take place in the upper atmosphere/space. The 6th gen fighter would be best suited to being not only stealthy but also able to breach the upper atmosphere into space and come back with little to no issue. It most likely would be pilotless too because then it could perform maneuvers no human could sustain. And finally it would have to be fully autonomous so it could not be jammed or taken over by the enemy.
@@ajfannin5496 Isn't there a movie about a fully autonomous AI-controlled fighter jet? I think it was called "Stealth".
@@Ben_Kimber Yep, Eddie was pretty cool.
Pretty much all the electronic upgrades could be applied to any plane. Part of the issue is the military's standardization approach. I worked on systems which, while under development, could have been equipped with more capabilities. These were often rejected as being beyond requirements. Thus, we kept them in our back pocket and sold them for a premium after a system was delivered. Electronics can easily be replaced and upgraded. If you have any knowledge of these you will know that newer systems are smaller, use less power and more powerful. So, any upgrade will generally fit easily in an older form factor.
the 35 has electronics that can not easily be added to previous generations of planes .. new platforms needed for some of the juiciest bits, or at least major mods
"...we kept them in our back pocket and sold them for a premium after a system was delivered". Ah yes, military contractors, we always get a "good value" for our hard earned tax dollars. Louis, I'm not blaming you as an employee, but contractors do have an extensive history of screwing taxpayers. I always remember the famous Eisenhauer quote before he left office..."In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist".
@@RockDocNeal You don't understand the system. Frankly those simulators were in use ten years later when I was working on operational systems. They had all the new features and were connected together to make a bigger more complex simulator. At that time, with the operational systems, my task was to come up with a 20 year technology plan. This was something new, and would try to avoid just the issues we had with the simulator.
Managing and specifying advanced systems is very complex. The customer, and this includes many situations in the civilian sphere, has to weigh the idea of getting the latest, even if it is not in the spec, against the cost and schedule risk. Any project that lasts any significant period of time will see technology advance during the project beyond where it was when the project was specified and started. That is why many military and space systems go through many generations. Same in the commercial world. Look at many military planes flying in the world today. Many were designed in the 1970s and are still effective today. Heck, the B-52 is still flying and will for a while. My father worked on the design before I was born, and I am only slightly younger.
The other thing, in complex system is testing and verification. That is a significant cost, and very important. A good example is the Space Shuttle. It ran the whole time with a computer that was obsolete as soon as it launched. It handled the flight issues adequately, including implementing redundancy. For everything else they were crap and consequently you would see everyone onboard using a laptop. The thing is, that test and verification for manned space is massively expensive.
The quote from Eisenhower is inappropriate for this situation.
Bro, Just Put An Electromagnetic Field Generator On An AIM-120, And Any Plane Will Be Helpless.
@@aiden8252 The electronics are shielded. There are some chip architectures that can actually withstand a nuke going off nearby (I have seen the tests). Communications are via fiberoptic cable, which is not susceptible to EMP.
never forget two f22s takin off near the base in tampa and down vertical climbs never thought two fighter jets can cause vibration in your house they sound amazing
Fun fact the F-15EX is actually a Refinement of the F-15E not the F-15C
F-15 is not Stealthy, so its not going to be used as FIRST strike AC.
useful as a Home Guard Defender or Interceptor.
The F-36 Kingsnake reminds me of the Saab 35 Draken.
That way they could be each other's tail gunner and they could fire missiles in both directions
They should build a jet version of P51 Mustang ;)
ME-109
ME 69 teehee
Gumman FiFi carrier aircraft.
I wanna see a jet version of p-40 too
Will it be good definitely not will it be cool 100%
That is alot considering the amount of personnel they have
You listed the F-35 as a single aircraft when it has 3 variations (A&B&C).
USA 🇺🇸 #1
Out of this list, the fa-xx is my favorite.
Wow a lot of these look cool. Hopefully they are also very good jets.
im just watching this for inspiration, dont care if its true or false. but thanks
Love the inf in comments .
The laser is not an offensive weapon. It would be standard as that is part of the 6th generation requirements. The laser is a defensive weapon meant to fry incoming missiles by taking out their electronics so they can't track.
Supposedly the 35 can pulse its radar at incoming fire to fry it.
Laser could fry enemy planes too
@mingkwong9277 no they really can't. The power requirements to destroy another fighter would cause major heating issues and weight increase.
The f 36 kingsnake is similar to f 16 but different because of its wings and behind, would love it to be a real plane, love the f 18’s, I would of loved to seen the upgraded f 14 to happen but it won’t happen
NGAD top view looks like the EDI warplane from movie stealth
Your F-36 Kingsnake is a version of the F-16 from the early 80's, there's one sitting in the parking lot of NASA Dryden Research Center.
Oh wow.
The Closed Captions/Transcript is hilarious.
Power rangers??
the last 2 looked like something from wingcommander.
I think future jets are going to look like th e NGAD F-X and the F/A XX with laser guns and electromagnetic shields for protection, Star Wars like.
Never knew there's something like Underdevelopment in weapons..
Uhm B -21 Raider? How can you miss the B-21 Raider? The plane taking over for the B-2 Spirit? Cmon Man!
The title says combat jets, which probably was intended to mean fighter aircraft
@@QuantumAscension1 I agree. The author didn't include Bombers here nor other class of planes rather than F/A (the only present here, in designation at least, is the F/A-18 block III, but I've also read the Navy is not interested in the block III, rather in other prospects (?)
Realy I like this strongest fighters jets
Prototype of ngad has already flown. To me that says it’s ready and will be operational far before it’s true commission date
F36 kingsnake is the result when you mix up F35 and F16
and I bet it will never be mass produced
The boomerang jet would need two pilot one for each direction.
We need plasma propulsion, and rail guns. That will also advance particle accelerators, and fusion reactors.
Freedom!
They have one or 2 off's at Groom Lake that would be considered UAP's or UFO's. These craft consume so much power that they are not as of yet feasible for production or operation. They do however account for many sightings in the US. Exotic Technologies yield Exotic Systems and Designs.
Note that most of these planes shown are variants of aircraft that first flew in the 1970s. ( Example F-18, 1978 )
Though the super hornet shares a lot with the hornet, it is a substantially different aircraft.
Congress should have never cut f22 production. They even had a carrier version they were working on for the Navy before the program was canceled.
It was expensive but once they get production going enough it would get cheaper through economy of scale just like what the f35 went through.
Gen 4 aircraft are so good that it went to if it ain’t broke don’t fix it to if it’s out classed make it better
Sort of like a flying wing.With a extra wing above the other.
the navy would love the F15 if it could be ruggedized for carrier use
I read lot of coments,there is lot to find out from those who knows better then me.
Any way ,some of this aircrafts are just majestic.
America has a new variant of the f-35 called the f-35 super lighting in the works its supposed to be a larger plane with dual engines and hybrid of the f-22 and f-35 thats been in the works. Cheaper to take two of your best planes and make a new plane than research something from the ground up. When its finally finished its going to be the new force to be reckoned with and countries cant even mess with the f-22 still so this new stealth craft fighter jet not a all around figter like the f-35 should be awesome.
Your buddy's brothers friends dad who knows a guy who's second cousin once removeds brothers works at lockheed tell you that?
There is no dual engine f35 being looked at. Hell there still working on how to keep it working. The US is focused on 6th gen craft already
This are the know ones who knows how many are there which we don't know about until 20-30 years like sr-71
In a new video please do (top 10 worst airlines in 2022 ) please
6th gen aircraft are dope 🔥🔥
F-4 Phantom still in use by some Countries. Classic.
almost sounds like we need a new classification of fighter, air superiority.
After studying the F-36's design, I see that it's a variation of the F-16XL. Oh, BTW, EX is pronounced E X, not ex.
How do you pronounce MN ? M N or MN ?
@@hb-ol9oc Normally, I just say "Minnesota". LOL
Why would anyone build a non-stealth replacement for the f-16? Just bolt the new goodies on the -16 or -18. Save R&D costs; multi roll non-stealth fighters already exist and if you want to upgrade them anything that might be upgraded with a whole new design can be accomplished on the existing airframes.
As long as Loyd Austin is command our technology will always be at easy access to our enemies
It is time to buzz the Tower.
For stealth, why don't the 6th Gen fighters have dorsal intakes?
Doesn't the intake create a problem for stealth? Wouldn't putting it on top of the airplane
aft of the cockpit make more sense?
V tail and X tail are more stealthy.
@@markplott4820V and X tails are more stealthy than what??
My question was about the placement of the air intake, not the tail configuration.
Regarding that -- isn't 'no tail' the most stealthy tail configuration?
@@craigkdillon S-ducts on the F-35 and F-22 have already solved the issue of engine fan blades being visible from the front on radar. No need to place the intakes at the top of the aircraft
The us would always keep the coolest weapons top secret 🤐 I don’t blame them but I hope to be impressed one day
Let's go America no time to loose get er done
US should allocate funds for the continued development of AIM-9X Block III. One common weakness regardless if its a 4th gen or 5th gen is its engine heat signature. If 2 stealth planes cant see each other in BVR, it will lead to a WVR confrontation where whoever leads in dogfighting together with more advance IR seekers/sensors will seize victory.
Heat signature isn't an issue due to flares and heat suppresion on the f-22. As well as the fact that the f-22 can break the sound barrier without using afterburners
I mean for the enemy, but also arent current infrared homing better at tracking their target and not being decieved by flares?
@@johnsilver9338 yeah but they're very short range
@@anguswaterhouse9255 If im not wrong, Meteor missile will also get infrared homing besides radar homing for terminal guidance so that solves the issue. Maybe future iterations of AIM-120 AMRAAM or even AIM-260 JATM as well.
@@johnsilver9338 That still requires a radar lock for long range
Then there are those that we won't see for years until they become obsolete
We're reached "Independence Day" alien tech
Are those new f-16 new air craft or refurbished airframes that are already in existence?
US is using C/D variants of the F-16 in block 50/52. The present here is the block 70/72, which the US have exported but I have no knowledge of arming themselves with those, as they have better ways to invest the money those would cost - gen5, gen6, hipersonic missiles, better laser tecnhology, maybe rail guns...
F35 - C2D2, so the US is finally getting some Astromechs? Awesome.
Interesting that there is no mention of F22 upgrades...
There are 10 upgrades being installed as we speak. The helmet mounted sight was the first one.
And that's just the ones the DoD is willing to share with the public.
The F-15-16-17 date from the '70's. Upcoming? Hardly. The F-35 will be re-engined with the AETP engine now being developed.
Dang, I was hoping the F14 was coming back.
Dang, I was hoping spitfires would come back as well.
ThunderCats bring back the p-40s too while were at it
If this is what the military is admitting they have then this is not what's upcoming. They're not going to tell you what they're dreaming up and developing.
Nope they just let the public call them UFO's. Which they are identified by the US Air Force cause they are theirs.
Romulan war bird..would be my choice..
Well, that's six minutes of my life I'm never going to get back.
The NGAD F-X Concept Plane lookswrong. Engine Intakes would not be underneath the body, but be on top of the wings, and keep the lower part for in-body bombbays to maintain the stealth capability.
Unless that baby was flying in space……it’s time the US created a jet that was capable of flying in the atmosphere and also in space. Not many anti aircraft systems can reach the vacuum of space and most if not all can not detect something the size of a mosquito at that distance. China and Russia have no idea what’s coming…….
Future "Ace Combat" games are going to be awesome.
is the F 15 highly expensive to operate

My boomerang jet would blow them all away.Two reverse boomerang wings with a canopy.
I'd bet that any 6th gen fighters will be pilotless. They will likely still have remote pilot systems but they may very well be able to be "set free" and go full autonomous in certain situations. An unmanned aircraft has so many possibilities that just unavailable to those carry a human being while autonomous computer control allows a decision process that will be truly unsettling to a foe.
eliminating the pilot and having it controlled remotely is insane. Think if the enhanced maneuverability without having to worry about the pilot passing out
@@benjaminvmarder6519 Exactly. Now imagine if you have the ability to allow the computer to take over in a hot zone and simply view everything not in it's own "squadron" as hostile (make sure it still has it Friend/Foe gizmo working and tell your other aircraft to stay away). You could feed them all sorts of information from all your other sources and it's decision making speed would be ludicrous. It would be like playing a complex game against a computer where the computer isn't held back by programming that allow you, the human, to have a chance! A computer brain doesn't only make decisions quickly, it can make multiple decisions at once, view multiple screens, calculate multiple streams of data etc. etc. Truly frightening.
It is going to be both. Pilots well be able to fly it and it will be able to fly itself which is the smartest thing to do.
@@t74guard78 The flying will be done remotely, I think. No need to put a thousand pound plus cockpit into a an aircraft that doesn't require one and we don't want a soft, mushy human in our super high G aircraft when it's allowed to do it's thing, but yes, I believe the future will be remote controlled drones with an option to "set free" and allow it to do jobs completely autonomously once they are in certain situations.
@@osrikking8785 Well I already know it will be both man and unmanned. I don't think it will be super high G because that is getting less and less important. Making quick turns can only be done at low speeds and are for airshows. Way back in the late 80's the US had an aircraft called the X-31. It was an amazing aircraft and could turn circles around anything in the sky today from any country. It was to test super maneuverability and if it was something needed in a combat aircraft. Well the F-22 is very maneuverable and about as much as is needed. Combat speed isn't the same as landing speed. You go that slow, your just making yourself a very easy target. Like Russias SU35 and Su57 are. They are great for airshows but all that bullshit is worthless in combat. If it was needed, the US would have already had crazy turning fighters a while ago. Trying any of those turns you see Russian planes doing in airshows at combat speed and you will rip it apart. Man is limiting what aircraft can do no doubt but this one will still be able to have a human pilot. Have to walk before you can run. The drawings show a tailless aircraft and that means not supermaneuverable but is really stealthy.
American jets look so good. Also, the Eurofighter Typhoon and SU-57 look good, but I think the latter was very inspired by recent American designs.
SU-57 is a joke. Smoke and mirrors. It will never happen.
@@tsangarisjohn Yeah, I think with sanctions that have been in place, they just can't get a lot of the technology to build them.
You can't be impressed by something you don't see or hear about. The U.S. never releases information about a quarter of what they already have.
I've always been disappointed by the Typhoons 4th gen looks. I do hope the total large screen cockpit goes ahead in 2024. Much like the F35s cockpit. Also proper integration of the Striker 2 helmet.
Have you seen the french Dassault Rafale or Saab Gripen E? just for starters... And the South Korean KF21, 4++ gen, is operating already but still evolving to become a 5th gen plane, which I believe they can achieve as soon as they find out how to create inner bays for missiles and bombs. cheers.
I love that Prat and Whitney
NGAD looks like what we thought the F-19 looked like in the 80s just updated.
So alot of Vaporware's are in this list.
!?¿. Quando possible compra la f-22?
King snake is final?
Not a single one of them is the Tomcat 2... sad. At least the F-36 is kindda the F-16XL
F22 Raptor: What about me?
The Kingsnake was not a proposal, it was made up by the nice people at Hush-Kit.
The F16 with delta wing ie Kingsnake is an old friend. Back in the day the US AirForces retired the bombtruck F111 and its cousin FB111, the "Kingsnake" was one of the candidates for replacement. It finally lost to the F15 E...
give me a F111 or F-4 Phantom.
The SR-71's replacement is retired, the F-22's replacement is already flying and the B-21 is in production but not yet announced....the stuff they have would blow your mind
doubt it, most of this was on regular tv in the 90s. Aurora, black ops... etc. They silenced all the cool shit from TH-cam.
Whats the f22 replacement? The f15 ex?
No I'm not sure what the name is or nomenclature the air force said in 2021 it is flying it
@@Tetsuigardm No. The USAF announced well over a year ago that it had already flown a 6th generation fighter jet. What it looks like is anyone's guess at this point.
@@Tetsuigardm the NGAD
"Might"
Bruh NGAD sounds like some star wars shit
