Boeing displays manned "sixth-generation" F/A-XX concept jet

[Game is loading]

Seems pretty formidable

Wonder how it fares against their Chinese counterparts like the J-16 and the J-18.

China doesn't even have 5th gen,its still only "planned".

Stop overreacting

Pakistan 9th generation plane huh..

Pakistan 9th generation plane huh..

This is our first generation fighter buddy which we invented it before marut...

looks very aerodynamic, stealthy and energy efficient. Hope the concept make out of drawing board someday. I am tired of watching all the star trek type movies. Now need to see them in action in real world.

50 h endurance is absolutely unrealistic for this kind of plane, unless they incorporate some alien technology from the area 51.

whenever people talk about aviation one thing that comes to my mind is vimana shastra and Shivkar Bapuji Talpade
Bombay Photo Images: 1895-TALPADE'S FLIGHT OVER CHOWPATHY-- Shivkar Bapuji Talpade. His plane was called ‘MarutSakha’
i wonder whether have our scientist seriously considered these things.. or at least looked into these designs.
just my thought

Not exactly.

China's J-13 and J-14 fighters are all in testing. J-13 flight test was in 2009, J-14 flight test was in May 2010. Other JH-7B, J-11D/E, and YFC-1E fighters are also fully-tested.

Sixth-gen fighters are already named as "J-16" and "J-18 Red Eagle" and they have supposedly rolled them out already.

No offense intended, but if every fanboy CGI and writeup was to be believed then Pakistan too has a squadron of canard equipped Mig-29's that transform into mecha's with 20 metre nano-mite swords and mind controlled movement.
I believe in the 5th gen chinese program.. and that it is quite possible that a prototype or tech demonstrator has flown. But anything beyond that is difficult to swallow.

You know what's weird? When I was flying, there was no "generation" of fighters. It wasn't even invented, and is a stupid concept, IMO. The reality is, if you want to apply some dumb generation number, then each and every jet would be different from each other. An F-15 would be 4.125, a Su-27 might be 4.05, etc. And a jet can have gen. 3 elements and gen 5 elements at the same time.

And what would an A-10 or Su-25 be? It's a stupid marketing methodology that makes little sense.
