Potential “Kill Switch” in U.S.A.F’s New F-47 Stealth Jet Raises Eyebrows
Boeing’s F-47 win signals a bold leap in air superiority, pairing next-level stealth with unmanned wingmen. Will it redefine the future of air combat? #F47 #NGAD #Boeing https://buff.ly/oPYdZ4g
Chaedrol's Washington Horizon · Boeing to build Air Force’s future fighter, the F-47DOD awarded Boeing a contract for the nation’s next air supremacy fighter, the Air Force’s Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) manned plane, officially dubbed the F-47, as reported by Defense News. President Donald Trump announced the decision at the White House, alongside senior Air Force officials.

The U.S. Air Force’s F-47 NGAD fighter faces scrutiny as Chinese analysts question its use of canards, a design feature from older jets. Could this impact its stealth capabilities?

Donald #Trump vient d'annoncer l'entrée en production d'un nouveau chasseur furtif baptisé #F47, probablement la mise en production du prototype #NGAD dont le prototype avait volé il y a 5 ans.
Cette décision d'accélérer sur cet appareil confirme une volonté de repartir sur des bases saines après les difficultés du #F35. Les clients du F-35 sont prévenus, les #USA mettront leurs efforts sur ce nouvel avion plutôt que sur la correction des défauts du F-35
I still don't get the idea behind the 6th gen fighter jet. How is the pilot supposed to interact with the drones and for what. What's the concept behind it? What kind of drones should those be? Drones with jet propulsion? What problems are they supposed to solve and what kind missions to execute? What makes them that much better than cruise missiles or a second plane to justify the development, production and maintenance costs of such a next generation fighter jet platform? And after all: wouldn't the pilot be overwhelmed by the need to coordinate his/her plane and the drone in parallel? Kind of like you need a crew of two for a fighter helicopter.
It looks rather like militaries and politicians around the world trying to guess what the next military technological leap might look like instead of developing proper tactics and strategies they actually can prognose to need in the future based on their possible adversaries' capabilities.
