When you juxtaposed that NASA X-36 "Tailless Fighter" jet and the B-2, you should immediately have caught yourself: the reason you have NEVER seen a fighter jet like NASA X-36 or like the B-2/B-21---- and will never see it in the foreseeable future ---- is that that design is for GLIDING (fast or slow, you have options). But it's NEVER going to work for fighter jets that need to make rapid & extreme angle changes, very fast, with maximum control. None of these silly Star Trek/Battlestar Galactica/CGI/cartoon drawings ubiquitous on KZitem ---- B-2/B-21-like, tailless design --- ever is going to be the USA 6th generation fighter jet. There is less than zero chance the US is going to built a fleet of 250 to 500 Battlestar Galactica fighter jets, whether the cost per unit is $150M or $500M. It's just not going to happen. ENGINEERING wise, & militarily, it's just currently not possible. No magical way to do it. (We wouldn't have to wait too long to see that THAT is still the reality. That also, incidentally, is why the B-21 looks roughly 99.99 like the B-2, except it's just smaller: the function of gliding bombers CONFORMS to its shape/structure...) Anyway, you either "tilt" those giant, tail-end flappers like what's seen on the YF-23 or you "tilt" them "inwardly" like the SR-71... with the front & larger wings a permutation between the YF-23 and the SR-71. And I do believe SKUNK WORKS at LM has released some recent DRAWINGS of that nature, among other highly unrealistic designs (of which most will never work, for fighter jets).

sorry pal but you are wrong starting with a false premise that fighters need to be manouverable, you are basing this on the premise of fighters making it to the merge, at least within visual range, with missiles such as meteor this isnt ogoing to happen. NGAD, next gen air dominance, no one mentions manouver warfare, just dominating the opponent, this can be done from long range, expect combat drones to be more manouverable, but expect ngad to be big, very big, fast and opperating very high, a long way back 100 miles+. probably bigger than F15 with lots of excess power for electricl generation capability@@kiabtoomlauj6249

One of the reasons the X36 was rejected was due to the canards affecting its stealth characteristics. So I very seriously doubt that the U.S. will employ them especially seeing how everyone seems to think the 6th gen won’t focus much on high maneuverability and speed to beyond visual range combat. Which I think will ultimately end up becoming a big mistake just like the removal of guns on the F4. A radar system can eventually be built that will eliminate the advantage of stealth and will result in visual range combat and/or situations when you have a lot of aircraft coming at you from different directions.

Think about this...What is wildly considered to be the most advanced fighter jet in the world the F-22 Raptor's first demonstrator rolled off the line August 29th 1990, and its first flight took place exactly one month later. Its conceptualization and design began sometime between 1985 and 86 with Lockeed submitting the bid to the us government in 86 and beginning actual work on the aircraft. So the worlds most dangerous aircraft that has really never been put to the test in active combat, and is still incredibly classified... started design 11 years, and flew for the first time 7 years before the first 802.11 a and b WiFi standards were ratified. (By the way those had a 54 Mbps and 11 Mbps theoretical max bandwidth respectively). This thing was built 3 years after the YF-22 demonstrator flew. We all know that there are stealth Blackhawk helicopters that we have seen the tail section of from the Bin Laden raid....That was almost 13 years ago now, and yet with everyone walking around with a cell phone high rez camera in their pocket...we still have never seen that helicopter. They will show us the new B-21 Raider....but what do they really have. Makes you wonder with all that DARPA money, and the endless funds that flow into the skunkworks.

Yes because " they tried without it before on a different plane with a different mission in a different time, so it'll always be necessary and will never be okay to remove or unnecessary to add, nothing ever changes" is such a great way to go about things. Maybe look at the f35 the b model of which has no integrated gun and performance just fine. Your also not really considering the performance envelope these likely will be operating in for the majority of the time which would make firing bullets potentially hazardous to the firing craft.

There are some interest points raised here. The portions between the outline of the NGAD concept and the X-36 that stand out to me are the sort of wide strake-like shaped nose, perhaps an attempt to blend a leading edge extension into the body itself, additionally that rearmost point does seem to be shaped like what I'm guessing was meant to be a heat-obscuring shround for the engine exhaust. I'm curious about those intakes though, would that boundary layer separator increase radar returns? I feel like getting rid of that and somehow coming up with an internal shape to act as a divertless supersonic intake bump would be advantageous in that regard. While I think there's a good potential for both depictions as a stealth fighter development program, my understanding of what both NGAD and F/A-XX are trying to do leads me to think that the result will be a low-observable aircraft with a size and/or crew complement resembling that of an F-111 or EA-6B.

I saw the United States Government's antigravity craft on August 30th 2023. It was skimming the treetops about 40 feet above me. It is triangle shaped craft that has lights in the corners and center with red and green navigation lights on it also strobes. It was traveling west to east with a slight rotation and it didn't change it's direction of travel. Being just above the tree tops it didn't shake any leaves on the trees. It didn't make any sound that I could hear from the inside of my vehicle. It was painted gray like the new stealth bomber and it's access panels were highlighted. I was on Indiana highway 446 close to the Hoosier national forest sign around 9:10pm. That craft probably will never come out. The Antigravity craft most likely can travel faster than 10,000 miles per hour. I would guess that it was created by Northrop Grumman because of it's similarity in design aspects as the new stealth bomber. Northrop's facilities are in a straight line from the point that I had my sighting and if you calculate the Estimate of time of darkness to travel in the cover of night from any known facilities it had to be traveling around a minimum of 10,000 miles per hour.

The point of better stealth is that you can detect the enemy before the enemy can detect you, and fire your missiles before they even know you're there. And, if you're being fired at, the missiles coming for you will be unable to, or have difficulty, getting a lock. Missile radars have small emitters and very short wavelengths, so they should be more disadvantaged than a search/track radar on an aircraft or on the ground.

But X-52, X-58, X-63 and X-64 are "skipped" For X-58 there is a compeling explanation, for X-52, X-63 and X-64 there is not.. Also.. The two later is very recent so it make sense they would still be classified. The X-63 and X-64 is to recent to be the Ngad. That leaves us with only the X-52 that have a explination that is very uncompelling. of cause.. it could be any weapon program. But it match well in time when a Ngad program would have been started. Unlike the plane called "SR72" that probobly would have been a spin of from X-51, it would at the earliest be called the X-56. Of cause, with that, its absolutely possible that ngad is a Y plane, probobly like YF-41 or something like that Personally i don´t belive that the "sr-72" exist as a full scale flying plane at this date. Its probobly a scale model that need to be launched. But for the Ngad... Remember YF22 and YF23 had first flight in 1990.. There are more clues. The X44 was canceled in 2000. Why was that. Budget cuts.. its possible. But x44 is incredibly similar to what we no know as ngad. The X44 was canceled after a bit more than one year of solid research. I see two possibility. 1: they wanted to go dark with it. 2: the lossed the budget. Either way the program might have been.. or even almost likely had been resurrected as a dark program. If that was in 2001 or if it was later is hard to say.. But.. well X-52 fits PERFECTLY in that slot. So my guess is that X44 went dark, they made a semi full scale prototype, flew it for a few years, then shelled the project until somewhere around 2017-2018, when it was resurrected as YF-... something, when it was built and flown... And information was leaked intentionally last year to eventually show it of, probobly this year

2:08 the lack of vertical tail has NOTHING to do with pitch and roll, that's YAW. The plane doesn't "twist", it "yaws". 2:13 this does NOT have a thrust vectoring nozzle, unless it moved within the limits of that fixed nozzle, which is going to limit its effectiveness. Probably more for stability control that maneuvering. 8:10 the Su-57 does Not have canards. those are more akin to leading edge flaps than canards. They don't do anything that a canard does.

1. This is missing a horizontal tail as well, and that does pitch and roll. 2. It does have a movable nozzle. Google it 3. I said its like a canard on the su57

@@PaulStewartAviation "1. This is missing a horizontal tail as well, and that does pitch and roll." Wrong, it has canards and wings (elevons) like any other canard, delta, or flying wing design. The vertical tail does not control pitch nor roll. It can assist with them via fly-by-wire depending upon teh final shape and orientation. But lacking a vertical tail at its core is SOLELY about yaw stability and control. You can do a Y or V tail configuration and combine features, but the vertical component of the structure exists for yaw stability. There are other ways to control yaw stability without a vertical tail (the same way birds do it for example). The vertical tail on an F-16, F-15, Typhoon, P-51, etc. does not control pitch nor roll, they control YAW. This is aircraft design and control 101 stuff. "2. It does have a movable nozzle. Google it" I know it says it has a movable nozzle, but all pictures, video, and actual aircraft show a FIXED nozzle (look at your own footage). If the nozzle were inside the fuselage, then its range of motion is Severely limited by the external features. Which is why it must be about stability rather than maneuvering. "3. I said its like a canard on the su57" Except that it's literally NOTHING like a canard. Do some proper research into aerospace engineering and aerodynamics and learn what you're talking about. These two features couldn't be more different from one another. You might as well call a hydraulic cylinder a wing if you try to make that comparison.
