What will it be capable of?
Supposedly the F-22s will be phased out starting in 2030, so this project must be advancing quickly.
NGAD

>this project must be advancing quickly.
>implying it isnt already finished
Unlike most AAA video game developers the MIC plans shit out WELL in advance of the anticipated release date.
They haven't even selected which primary contractor design to use yet. So it surely isn't finished yet.
Though that supposedly is happening very soon (or has already been decided recently and not made public yet).
That being said, they had flying prototypes in like 2020 for at least one of the designs.
Probably use rotating detonation engines.
I also watch YouTube
>What will it be capable of?
having sex with me i hope
Nothing is that capable anon.
Which NGAD? There's at least two (that we know of)
>engines split wide like the pak-fa
what did they mean by this?
>no tail
ditto
Spread the engines so it's easier to get an all internal weapons load and you get a little bit of body lift.
Vertical stabs are radar beacons and rudder authority is one of the easier things to replace/ compensate for with Thrust vectoring, especially in a twin engine get with so much separation between the turbines.
The Russians just have had superior designs since the 80's they only failed in electronics and material sciences.
I'm trans btw
Damn, the 2 most crucial aspects of modern fighter jets
Lots of room for armament and fuel between engines.
Fat f35 with 3 times the range and more weapon space
Has the optics to snap a 4K image of your gyno through your kitchen window from 300km away and is equipped with a special multi spectral beam that will make you wet your pants the second you finally work up the courage to ask out that goth girl at the business you frequent
As someone who knows very little about control surfaces and avionics; how does the plane maneuver correctly without a tail fin? Is it able to yaw by small thruster jets or some kind of fly-by-wire elf magic?
Mostly fly by wire magic, way the fly by wire works is essentially pilot giving an wish for what to do for control computers, then computers decide what control surfaces to apply to do desired maneuver most efficiently. Split ailerons and combination of all control surfaces and thrust vectoring. Using rudder isn't even that relevant in fighters outside of takeoffs and landing approaches, just roll the plane a bit and use elevator.
I hope they sell the F-22s to Australia
