Lockheed identified the perfect stealth shape decades ago. They labeled it "The Hopeless Diamond". They struggled with the basic design. Lockheed purchased a completed study from a Russian who was unable to convince the Soviet hierarchy of its value. The F-117 was the result. Producing a hypersonic "Hopeless Diamond" is proving to be very difficult.
This doctrine of NGAD is severely flawed. Stealth remains useful. However: 1)- Speed of the aircraft is irrelevant >subsonic. Because the weapon is speed of Light. 2)- Incorporating system wide AI to control the craft is a Deal Breaker. Someone IS out there w/ the skillz to code a kill switch. And won't be a thing that can stop it.
I noticed the Northrop XB-35 at about 5:48. Why this is in a video about NGAD and future technologies is kinda curious. The XB-35's and the YB-49's that had been built were ordered destroyed by the Air Force in 1953.
The F-35 already has some of these capabilities in the real world. It rolls into a zone with other American assets or Allies. And it instantly links up. And has a God’s Eye View of the Battlefield. So what this 6th Gen follow on Airframe will do? Is just terrifying for the Enemy. Clear the Airspace 🔥 ✈️
the benchmark for the 6th gen is to replace the role of the f22 while basically upgrading the 22 systems to the more current systems. But its being developed from the ground up to match or beat the 22s stealth and have the ability to link into the hivemind as well, but its main goal is to replace the 22 as the air superiority fighter and stay ahead of china russia and the rest of the world despite the fact nothing compares to the 35 currently...
Can it intercept a hypersonic threat or missile. The F35 has "speed restrictions" as well cannot fly through a lightning storm....All of the NAVY aircraft can't fly Mach 2.0+ any more...
There’s no reason to fly past Mach 2. There’s a video on that, but the reason is “would you want to be striking targets so fast you can’t keep up with how many targets you have to strike? -no. That’s the reason
@@hermanjohnson9180 ".... sounds good"- is opinion ( Which I respect). They should have an authentic and distinct "Southern drawl"..... That and only that "Sounds Good"..... after all, Independence Day is celebrated here, but we sing "Dixieland"..... fk a bunch of Yankees, lol
@@moi-rp5wq The F22 is indeed the best true fighter out there. The F35 is like the Pentathlon/ Decathlon winner, it can do a lot of things but isn't the best at any one thing.
These drones would be capable of g forces well in excess of the 9 g limit of the human pilot. The f-16 can take a g load in excess of 20 without the pilot. Think of a dogfight of a drone with a SU-57. All of the SU's fancy vector thrust is useless against a drone that can over g it significantly in a dogfight.
Is it space capable?? Looking at it, it looks like it is. See darkatqr wasn't just a concept. It is actual aircraft. So this is the aircraft that flew in 2 yrs from paper to deliverable fighter. Gen 7 will look nothing like aircraft we ever flew.
Of course I am waiting for the Tesla fighter Jet. It will have a gigacast exo skeleton and stainless steel body like the Cyber Truck powered by miniature Raptor 6 rocket engines hidden thermally inside. With electric fans for vertical takeoff and converting to Ram drive at Mach 4. It will guide rods from god of porcelain ceramic approximately like Homer Simpsons carbon rod that got all the praise on his space trip. These will be carried into orbit on giant starships but can be directed by their spin to strike any target specified by the cyber fighter AI system. Like Thors hammer.
Take good care of this design and data that the Chinese and Russian hackers don't hack into Lockheed Martin Computers that stores data on this NGAD fighter secure it tightly that enemies of the US don't copy develop and make a plane like this and call it their own design and patent it
China and Russia patents its design and in times of war & conflict uses our own design against the US & our Allies who keep the freedom of navigation free
On RU-vid Type In Future Jet Fighter Design’s And Concept’s And It Will Show You An Awesome Design As The Title Picture And Give A Story Of The Old School .It’s The Same For Future Naval Ship’s And Future Armoured Vehicles Design’s Idea’s From Around The World.Ohhh That’s What Russia And China Were Wanting.😮😂😂😂😅.
Nice intro with a slightly modified version of Lockheed Martin's puristic "Hopeless Diamond" concept as a precursor of it's subsequent Have Blue test articles. The rest is nothing new and certainly everything else than a revelation of Skunk Works NGAD. 😂
