We humble ourselves in prayer to seek protection for those who work at Lockheed Martin. We ask that you watch over and shield your servants from harm and provide them with both physical and spiritual protection.
We pray that you bless Lockheed Martin with courage and strength in the face of challenging times. Let your wisdom and insight guide them along their path.
Above all, we ask for your divine protection. Grant them both the physical protection of being kept safe from illness and injury and the spiritual protection of being shielded from doubt, fear and despair. Keep them safe from all manner of harm and distractions, so that their work may be fruitful.
We ask that you watch over Lockheed Martin always, so that when they turn to You for help and guidance, Your light is there to guide them and comfort them in their hour of need.
imagine how hard chinks are trying to find out what skinkworks are doing to copy them instead of trying to innovate themselves lmao
bet china doesn't even have a sixth gen blueprit yet
Chinese 6th gen fighter design is just a bunch of wumao strapped to the exterior of a J-20 with megaphones who yell at enemy planes that their radar is telling them western propaganda and there is no chinese fighter in the area.
might be a raptor upgrade or something? >MFDs replaced with a large screen >HMD/HMCS integration finally
can only speculate but the last part with the ABs doesn't look like a raptor to me at all and planes often share control parts.
I'm gonna bet on Awareness. Information is everything in warfare, simply knowing where your enemies are gives you the opportunity to attack them. Knowing what they're doing lets you form responses and counters.

the point is that each of those planes excels in something new moron. They're basically flexing that Skunkworks is about to lead yet another complete paradigm shift
...though it's probably a stealthy supercruising drone command node with no vertical stabilizers
I just want to see those nacelles on a production aircraft. Shit, they'd probably look even better on a tailless delta wing like all the NGAD concepts have been suggesting.
I hope they converted the yf-23 to optionally-manned, improved the production and maintenance processes, and called it a day

Tried my hand at some photoshop for the first time in a while... is this it?
Hopefully the F-35 proved to the world that turnfighting super-agility with thrust vectoring is a meme and they can finally return to the Black Widow with the streamlined Ace Combat nacelles and Dorito wings like God intended. It is such an injustice they picked the YF-22, I was hoping some miracle would make Japan produce the yf-23 just to see it flying again
But the MIC also thinks the XM7 is a good idea so maybe we will stick with the shittier aircraft forever
if it doesn't have optical stealth I'll be dissappointed
That said, if they make this vid again in 10 years the next item in the list will probably be "Autonomy" or something like that
>AWCS like staffed with 8-10 drone pilots >Drones auto flying to theatre and loiter > Drone pilot takes over, confirms target. >After payload spend drone returns to base for rearm/refuel. >Rinse repeat.
this is by a wide margin the most efficient way of using combat aircraft.
>AWCS staffed with 8-10 drone pilots
Wouldn't that become a massive and very weak target to the point of garnering the same amount of focus as a carrier strike group?
We've already seen how effective the MALD can be. Consider a stealthy fighter with its own wing of loitering, SAS equipped decoy drones around it. Even if you see it coming, good luck targeting the real one and not the ones trying to take the lock.
I just want to see a current-gen large manned CAS platform. Something like a Super Strike Eagle with internal weapons bay and low RCS design. Seems depressing that the only dedicated high-endurance CAS aircraft will be the obsolete A-10 and drones for the next decade or two.

NGAD and autonomy
Yeah but will it be good? Or yet another downsized program?
Heavenly Father,
We humble ourselves in prayer to seek protection for those who work at Lockheed Martin. We ask that you watch over and shield your servants from harm and provide them with both physical and spiritual protection.
We pray that you bless Lockheed Martin with courage and strength in the face of challenging times. Let your wisdom and insight guide them along their path.
Above all, we ask for your divine protection. Grant them both the physical protection of being kept safe from illness and injury and the spiritual protection of being shielded from doubt, fear and despair. Keep them safe from all manner of harm and distractions, so that their work may be fruitful.
We ask that you watch over Lockheed Martin always, so that when they turn to You for help and guidance, Your light is there to guide them and comfort them in their hour of need.
In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
Unironically have a nice day
Matthew 6:5-6
Based, Skunk works must be protected at all costs. Please give us more F-35 schematics so we can produce them for Europe!

What the frick is this thread?
Lockheed martin (a U.S based armament manufacturer) published a new video teasing it's newest plane. We are discussing it. Hope that could help!
>F-22 HOTAS throttle
>F-22 engine display symbology
Apparently the next generation is the F-22
might be a raptor upgrade or something?
>MFDs replaced with a large screen
>HMD/HMCS integration finally

amy is awareness

Powerplants sufficient for danmaku-tier energy weapons
I hope Northrop Grumman gets his revenge for the yf-23 and wins this generation
I hope they converted the yf-23 to optionally-manned, improved the production and maintenance processes, and called it a day
I just want to see those nacelles on a production aircraft. Shit, they'd probably look even better on a tailless delta wing like all the NGAD concepts have been suggesting.

I wanted to remove the pilots' names and all but that proved a little complicated for me.
Hopefully the F-35 proved to the world that turnfighting super-agility with thrust vectoring is a meme and they can finally return to the Black Widow with the streamlined Ace Combat nacelles and Dorito wings like God intended.

China will create the sixth gen fighter, Russia will be second and NAFO troony /k/opers will cope and seethe
if it doesn't have optical stealth I'll be dissappointed
That said, if they make this vid again in 10 years the next item in the list will probably be "Autonomy" or something like that

Multi-axis no tail stretched F-22 "sig reduxed" to hell and back. with a laser.
I've um...seen footage.
I just want to see a current-gen large manned CAS platform. Something like a Super Strike Eagle with internal weapons bay and low RCS design. Seems depressing that the only dedicated high-endurance CAS aircraft will be the obsolete A-10 and drones for the next decade or two.
