Owl
J-31/J-35 (latter is the carrier variant), China's twin engine F-35 clone (they stole all the program design specs) is already the "Snowy Owl," so probably not. I think the land based one is the Snowy Owl and the carrier one is the Gyrfalcon. Yeah, they made it two whole planes without naming something after a dragon lol.
J-15 is the Flying Shark, so they have at least some other variation from Vigorous Dragon, Mighty Dragon, etc.
> Bad Dragon fits naming scheme
Doesn't matter for shit if chang names it himself. We will call it Flounder or Faget.
Why are Chinese names so disgustingly tryhard?
do you know how many fucking things are named "dragon" in chink pop culture? you have to be specific
Shrike is cool and scary
Pro Tip: Nighthawk was already an owl name.
F-60 Bald Eagle
It will be F-63, apparently 60 is already taken. My bad
Taken by what?
>Generation Orbit X-60 (GOLauncher 1 or GO1) was an air-launched single stage suborbital rocket vehicle produced by Generation Orbit

Black Widow II
The Pyrrhuloxia.
Fuckin' sick name but I don't see it happening
Hoot!
albatross
>albatross
Such a sweet name for such a goofy bird.
idk man he looks like hes planning some sinister shit
I like vulture. Since we have a switchblade drone, what about calling it the Scythe? As for birds, maybe the Gull? Clear Air Turbulence, Kek.
I like albatross too actually.
They might save that for F/A-XX since it's a maritime bird
MC-130 Combat Talon
Native Americans will like that
Peregrine gets my vote
Flameback or Razorbill, maybe.
Albatross really fits when it's set to have a like 1750km+ combat radius (3500km point to point).
Also given that it's probably going to look very different than air superiority fighters usually look. Albatross really fits.
Also interesting and fitting. Tons of species of birds are colonial already and fitting like that, though.
Vulture is a bad name. Vultures are scavengers.
Where have I heard that before? During a dota2 stream I think.
>It's pronounced just how it sounds
Yeah.
The Mothball jokes write themselves.
Tit
Great Tit
Kestrel would be my guess.
F-41 Goblin II or F-41 Super Goblin
F51 mustang 2
Strix
Phantom 2
Oh fuck, going back to ghost names would be sick.
Banshee 2, Voodoo 2
The F-4 was already the Phantom II
It'd be the Phantom III
Would it be the first third of its name aircraft? Seems sorta fitting for the leap into "All BVR all the time for real this time" generation.
Crow
F-45 Super Roc
Can I get it in champion plastic?
Seeing as the Raptor is more of a family, maybe they'll go with something like Corvid. Crows, Rooks, Magpies, Ravens etc. are smart & sneaky, they will fuck you up in a gang of their smart, sneaky buddies.
Condor
Mustang 2
Phoenix
Dragon

Specter
Already taken by the AC-130H
Was the original name for the F-4 Phantom in USAF service.
It was F-110A Spectre until the tri-service aircraft designation system was introduced shortly after it entered service
It'll be Talon
Yeah, 'cause it'll be talon enemy military installations to kiss their asses goodbye.
Something spooky like Wraith, Geist, Specter. You know because it's stealthy and will likely be the stuff of nightmares when deployed
Let meet in the middle with a mythological bird.
F-63 Thunderbird
F-69 Thundercock
Thundercougarfalconbird?
They can name it something else...if they don't care whether others question their sexual orientation.
I like it
Only thing i don't like about this is that the F-35 is the Lightning, and thunder follows the lightning so the orders a bit mixed up...... on the other hand thunder technically happens first you just don't hear it till later because light is faster than sound. If NGAD is a speedy plane it could be fitting.
USAF already has a demonstration squadron named the Thunderbirds.
F-69 Pigeon, mark my words
F-69 Cockeral.
F-69 Nice
"Nice" is to be used for aircraft dropping MREs.
Which one? The airforce NGAD will be by lockheed so they'll probably take from their stable of names. I'm hoping for Starfighter II.
For the navy F/A-XX program it's a fight between Northrup and Boeing, with boeing probably losing. again. So expect a new -cat. They'll probably capitalize on Top Gun and call it Tomcat II
>So expect a new -cat
F/A-XX Catgirl
I always wanted to get in one of those

It's a shame that Grumman is out of the running because I would have proposed the name of "Tomboy."
Northrop is still in for the F/A-XX. Which is the navy variant anyway.

>Since historically American jets are named after birds of prey
Yeah, who doesn't remember the wonderful birds 'Warthog', 'Lightning II', 'Stratofortress', 'Hornet' or 'Tomcat'
>Tomcat
i wish i was a bird
how are you? fine, thank you.
>Warthog
That's not her real name.
As a child I woke often to the mellifuous song of the warthogs fluttering between the trees outside my window on a fine spring morning.
>'Warthog
It's Thunderbolt
arent 6th gens going to be drone controllers/carriers? maybe an animal with a similar function

> Since historically American jets are named after birds of prey
Bro, we had 3 in a row (4 if you count the F-117)
The F-111 was the fucking AARDVARK which is practically the opposite of a bird of prey and the F-35 is the Lightning II. Idk about you, but lightning is the first thing that comes to mind when I think "bird", right in front of Aardvark.
Chink Yeeter 3000 mod. 0
Should call it aurora so all the skitzos can finally have a win.
Aurora is to cool a name not to use. Also it's drones could be called borealis. Then the whole system would be aurora borealis
Aurora borealis? At this time of year, at this time of day localized entirely above my HQ?

In order to generate extra chink butthurt.
I'm gonna list some names
Storm
Thundercloud
Starling
Raven
Bald Eagle
Griffin
Condor

Out of all of these I'm thinking condor since it's an American bird that's large and imposing.

F-69 Kson
F-70 Kiryu Coco
What the fuck are these names?
the names of a vtuber that chinks hate for mentioning taiwan
chinks deserve Nanking 2.0 for that.
Don't forget that the Japanese government literally had to create a brief to explain what the fuck was going on to the boomers in the government since the vitriol was becoming that much of a thing. I almost want to live in the timeline where the second Sino-Japanese war happened and the Wikipedia entry lists this as one of the inciting events.
>Don't forget that the Japanese government literally had to create a brief to explain what the fuck was going on to the boomers in the government since the vitriol was becoming that much of a thing
man, i knew they were seething hard at her for it, but not that hard. How does China function being so terminally online?
it doesn't, not as of recent anyway, i honestly think the internet was a terrible thing for the average chinaman because it didn't help them to a whealth of information, they dont care about that, instead it just made them more aware of how shit they were and made them envyous of the rest of the world, might honestly be partly to blame for the whole "laying flat" thing they're doing now.
Funny, it's the opposite of how I feel as an American. Seeing how much thirdies seethe about my country reminds me of how much power we have.
based dragon.
you could evolve this concept and literally call it the F-70 Taiwan to piss chinks off.

Quetzalcoatlus
>Quetzalcoatlus
Quetzalcoatl is actually a really badass name for a badass plane.
But as the name and mythology suggests, this God is both a bird and a snake.
Coatl refers to a snake.
Quetzal refers to a real life bird that lives n South America.
So if we're only going off of bird names, Quetzal would be a really good one in my opinion.
Quetzal / Quetzalcoatl gets my vote.
The Sparrow.
The name will invoke fear in the hearts of chinese people.

Rissa best girl. I don’t envy her having to tardwrangle biboo and the doggos in literally every advent collab
Here the repellent harpies make their nests,
Who drove the Trojans from the Strophades
With dire announcements of the coming woe.
They have broad wings, with razor sharp talons and a human neck and face,
Clawed feet and swollen, feathered bellies; they caw
Their lamentations in the eerie trees.
The namesake eagle is one of the strongest birds of prey but does Harpy sounds like it might catch on with its drivers?

F-33 Trump
i checked if there was a bird named trump, instead found trump gutted a bill, and now corpos arent held responsible if they kill migtatory birds, as long as its "accidental". So if this new plane ever accidently whoopsies a school or hospital, they really would of missed out on a good name.
>would of
ESL or poor education, probably both.
So what we've learned from this is that negative articles about Trump are artificially bumped by Alphabet, and you're easily led by the nose. How does the president even gut a bill? Do you mean veto, thirdie?
iunno, i didnt read the whole article. here ya go
https://www.audubon.org/news/trump-birds-drop-dead
what do you suppose would of come up before trump killing the migratory bird act, when i googled "trump bird". i dont think theres very many positive articles involving birds, and trump. do you really think theres more people googling "bird trump" expecting a bird named trump, or people looking up a bill that trump squashed, over birds.
Peregrine is the name of a now existing missile, likely to fully replace the AIM-9 by next decade.
Shrike is a bit obtuse for a flagship command-and-superiority craft
Personally, I'd prefer something that doesn't translate well into Chinese
Like the F-69 Caustic Cockmilk
it is noone's fault but your own that you don't understand how search engines work.
okay tell me then. should google of shown me some birds with the name trump, even though im probably the only person in the past month, or maybe, 6 months, or more, that tried to find a bird named trump. or was google correct in assuming that it was more likely i was someone looking up the bill, something thats actually been in the news recently. do you think birds, named trump, are a hot topic.
this is the first result i got:

I got one havn't seen ITT yet : Roadrunner.
If it's very fast and hard to intercept, like it's older brother the F22, then Roadrunner maks sense.
It's also native to the USA and is famous for killing snakes.
I like the name Roadrunner. I makes sense to me somehow.
