    i feel old accompanying the development of these military aviation programs and others over the past decades. It feels like it was yesterday when the YF22 was competing with the YF23, and here we are 30+ years later waiting in anticipation for these 6th gen platforms to manifest themselves.

    Just getting giddy imagining an E/A XX to replace the Growler. My dad was an EWO with VQ-1 on the Connie and Aries during Vietnam and then in the ERA-3B with VAQ-33, so EW has always fascinated me for its insane offensive and defensive capabilities. He's maintained he's incredibly jealous of Growler EWOs.

      I would assume f35 an f/a-xx & its unmanned counterpart. Will all have the EW & CEW capability that we are used to with prowler an growler. The pods an arrays need to be deployed internally. So either the equipment needs to be built in or use the aircrafts own systems. Tberes a pod that f-35 has been testing i asssuem many are in the works. The b21 should def have its own EW & CEW capabilitys

    The block 4 F-35 can use its onboard data center to generate weapons grade locks without using radar as long as the are at least two F-35s in the engagement zone to triangulate. I can all but guarantee that this capability will be present in the NGAD and F/A-XX. This means that the air dominance the F-22 enjoyed in its earlier years may see a comeback. Not only that, but the combination of this technology with the loyal wingman program means that we might see a radical shift in combat effectiveness and doctrine.

      @@Karackal From what I understand they have some sort of secure encrypted communication links, not only to communicate with each other but with all the other systems as well. It functions as a communications node/hub while processing, gathering, analyzing tons of data. The computational system is basically what makes the F35 and true 5th gen jets truly amazing and revolutionary, more so than their stealth characteristics, which are important but secondary and not comparable to the importance of their computation, sensor/radar fusion and information processing. Like the air chief of staff said; it´s a super computer that happens to fly.
      That is the reason why communist Chinas J20 is not a true 5th gen jet, it lacks that advanced computation technology and sensor fusion and information processing capability. It`s just a low observable jet, nothing more, it lacks the core essence of the 5th gen revolutionary nature. And even the stealth part of the J20 is questionable, since they don`t have decades of experience with RAM and they have not operated several stealth jets, plus China`s industry lacks the advanced manufacturing technology and capability, which makes their stealth technology even more questionable. Their lack of technological prowess or at least inferior tech utilized in the J20 is the reason why so many high-ranking military officers stated that they aren`t concerned about the J20, and that they do not lose sleep over it.

But with the caveat of not having any experience or qualification in aviation engineering or military aviation and technology in general (although I have an engineering degree). What is their reasoning behind this decision, does anyone know? There must be a good reason for it, surely. Maybe it´s about cost reduction, or they are very confident in their future AI ability/capability to handle diverse and general threat situations appropriately. Or it could be an engineering decision at its core, that maybe the dimensions and increased complexity for an additional pilot is not suitable for the requirements. I don´t know, those are just some basic ideas after thinking about it for around 10 seconds.... ^^ I am happy to hear any suggestions or thoughts around the matter.

      @@forzaelite1248 That tracks with my understanding of the situation. Keep in mind that I'm *not* an expert on this, so I could be totally off. I get my info on this the same way you do.
      The JBDs' inability to handle the heat from those engines seems to be a major bottleneck, and also for some reason the non- skid coating on the flight deck, which apparently ablates and becomes a FOD issue. Plus the sensor fusion and datalinks shipboard hardware (which I know from personal experience is a logistical nightmare). Pulling out the old ship cabinets and installing the new stuff requires literally torching holes in the hull and then welding them shut. That can't be fixed until the carriers come in for refit, and those refit schedules are set in stone years in advance.
      My *speculation* is that the Navy doesn't want to buy large blocks of F-35s and then have them sitting around in warehouses in the desert until they can be flown, but rather buy them in appropriate lots so they can be smoothly integrated in a timely manner without blowing up the budget. That's generally how these rollouts have gone in the past, but the timing of everything is more critical in this case. The planes, pilots, and flight decks have to all become available at the same time for maximum cost efficiency and minimum loss of combat effectiveness.

    One thing I haven't heard about for the NGAD and now F/A-XX, is the inclusion of a gun. I know most combat will be done at a distance. But what if these planes get to the merge and dogfight? Will it be internal like the F-22 & F-35A, or be a pod like the F-35B&C, or will be in a pod stored internally that gets deployed when needed as theorized for the SU-75 concept? I might be old school, but a fighter should always have a gun available, to avoid the mistake with early F-4s that were missing a gun.

      might not be a consideration. maybe it has an integral DEW that can perform that function. maybe its not maneuverable enough to practically use one. too many unknowns to speculate on something like that with certainty, but if I had to I would say no. F-35C already didn't have one, and the F/A-XX will have an even greater emphasis on stealthy BVR fighting, with a big deemphasis on individual lethality given the loyal wingmen, and the inevitable design tradeoffs needed to be made for RCS reduction

      The USN's F-4s never adopted a gun that really worked, and yet they had a kill-ratio considerably better than that of the USAF, who did.
      The fact of the matter is that the absence of a gun wasn't the problem with the F-4, but the lackluster training of the pilots and poor maintaining of the missiles.
      After the Navy solved both of those, the F-4 became more than capable of doing its job with no gun at all.

    As expected, the fighter jet will be located at the bottom rather than the upper intake.

    Wait, you said "2D vectoring" regarding the F22's engines, I assume that means the outlet nozzles only vector up and down. Are all thrust vectoring planes this way, with no side to side vectoring? I think Russia has done more of these than the US, but I don't know as much about Soviet/Russian designs.
    I always imagined thrust vectoring to go in any and all directions, but I suppose it makes sense since a "turn" for a plane is just a gentle roll to one side and then pulling "up" (or thrust vectoring up).

    I imagine the FA-XX will undoubtedly be larger, as the biggest need is the fly further and carry larger missiles. Long range and hypersonics will be the locus of improvements. They may not need to be the best fighters or even carry the most total ordinance since the idea is also to augment them with unmanned wingmen uavs (CCA)

    • @rgloria40
      @rgloria40 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The requirement of longer range....The US Navy had jet and propeller planes capable of doing this like the S3 Viking with astounding ferry range and fuel economy using a turbo fan jet. The problem is the metric of not using flight time or duration of the flight. Another problem is the fuel used to achieve the hyperbolic trajectory to reach the area of operations or the target intercept point.

      they don't affect it at all, identical signature to normal ones. the thing that does is going to be exhaust plume shaping that can be done by 2D nozzles, only seen on the Raptor so far.
      they do actually somewhat reduce effective RCS though as they can allow for flight control adjustments without needing control surface movement that can sometimes temporarily increase RCS.

    F/A XX needs also SPEED as well as stealth as with GE Rotation Denotation Hypersonic Engine. In order for it to out run other 5th and 4th generation jets with Mach 4 missiles. It also needs to do hypersonic intercepts or intercept hypersonic weapons with advantageous launch position. In fact, the requirement of supersonic supercruise is twenty to twenty five year old requirement for the 5th generation. The requirement should read able to supercruise at MACH 2. Another requirement is use of lasers which may save on weight... Electronic are getting smaller and lighter...someone lied by adding more weight...PS...Have you look at China H20 which has a variable tail rudder....using the control service of B2 or B21, it will remove the forward carnard...I beleive variable tail rudder will performance at low speed during carrier landing.
