Finally: America’s Launch New 6th-Gen NGAD Fighter Jet To Replace F-22

The U.S. Air Force believes the future 6th generation Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) fighter is so important that it will need a “whole of government” approach to place the warplane in the hands of aviators before the end of the decade. The development of the United States Air Force’s Next-Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) program has steadily progressed and recently reached a new phase of development. Described as a “family of systems,” the goal of NGAD, which originated from a DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) Air Dominance Initiative study in 2014, is to field a new fighter aircraft in the 2030s to replace the F-22 Raptor. It wouldn’t be a single aircraft, however, and instead, it will likely include a number of manned and unmanned systems. #6thgeneration #f22raptor #fighterjet #nextgeneration #usaf #f22 #6thgen
