> The new6th-generationfighter will also likely fire lasers and have the ability to launch offensive electronic attacks.The F-35 Is Old News: U.S. Military Has Big Plans for a 6th Generation Fighter
The Air Force Chief Scientist, Dr. Geoffrey Zacharias, has told Scout Warrior that the US anticipates having hypersonic weapons by the2020s, hypersonic drones by the2030sand recoverable hypersonic drone aircraft by the2040s. There is little doubt that hypersonic technology, whether it be weaponry or propulsion, or both, will figure prominently into future aircraft designs.
> The Air Force has begun experimenting and conceptual planning for a 6th generation fighter aircraft to emerge in coming years as a technological step beyond the F-35, service leaders said.
> The new aircraft, engineered to succeed the 5th-generation F-35 Joint StrikeFighter and explode onto the scene by the mid 2030s, is now in the earliest stages of conceptual development with the Air Force and Navy. The two services are now working together on early conceptual discussions about the types of technologies and capabilities the aircraft will contain. While the Air Force has not yet identified a platform for the new aircraft.
F35 is old news. We are about to rip open a can of star wars technology on your 3rd world commie fucking asses. Why the fuck do you faggots even try to keep up with us? We bout to be Death Star tier, N' shiiiiieeeeeeee MOTHER FUCKER!
I’m sure the Ruskis and People’s Pub have their own competitive drive to. It will be interesting to see these huge leaps in tech huh. Faster, stronger, better all for the sake of an edge and nothing but a continuous positive feed back loop of competition and research? Makes my nuts hurl.

You stupid faggot. We already have them made. You clearly don't know shit. Do you honestly think the F35 is the top tier of what we have?LOL! Are you a nigger?
Hudson Moore
Yes. Water is wet, news at 11.
Preliminary work for F-22 began in late seventies when F-15 had been barely introduced and was only at initial operational capability. Program was called Advanced Tactical Fighter. Formal request for information being issued in June 1981, initial performance requirements being issued in 1984 and formal requests for proposal being issued in 1985. Down selection of proposals being done in 1986. First flight of experimental prototypes happening in mid 1990. Selection of F-22 for development happened in 1991, first flight in 1997 and introduction into squadron service in 2005.
No. It is realistic schedule.

How stupid are you?

Russia is broke as fuck and cannot afford such expensive projects and China isn't creative, they just fucking steal technology and secret. Stupid chinks.

>Using hypersonic weaponry that costs in the billions of $$ to develop and build on goat farmers. Jeez. I wonder why the US is so broke.
David Lee
Goat farmers are the perfect testing grounds for next gen weaponry.
Alexander Morales
You stupid nigger gook. We have alien ships and shit.
Isaac Richardson
Once they figure out hypersonic aircraft modern defense systems like THAAD and the S-400 Will be obsolete. Russia/China will have no choice but to develop equally intimidating offensive weapons to maintain MAD. The next decade or 2 is unveil some crazy fast weapons from all sides.
Gavin Murphy
Until the U.S. goes broke and can't maintain its military because of retarded planning policies like this one. How much are you in debt now? Like a full 11% of your GDP?
Levi Howard

>You stupid nigger gook. We have alien ships and shit. Fuck off to /x/, ATS or whatever other shithole you crawled out of.
Alexander Bailey
>will fire lasers CUT THE CHATTER, RED TWO
Justin Long
The idea is that by developing futuristic weaponry, you can force peer nations to account for your capabilities in their planning. The F-22 has never shot down another aircraft, but even the mention of deploying it somewhere will make Russia and China shit themselves. Hypersonic weapons will work the same way.
Mate, we're at 18.9%. If you include consumer debt, we're over 100%.
Aaron Moore
> he still thinks debt means something when we created the fake currency system we use today
>M8 we're in the same boat Oh I have no doubt that were heading to disaster (because poor management, debt and retarded gender equality laws were it doesn't matter if you've got experience or skills in a certain field, only what you've got under your skirt matters), bit it's foolish to think that the U.S. in the same boat but worse.
Gabriel Evans
HAHAHA PRAISE DRUMPF SHADILAYYYY
Nolan Turner
I think it will reach a point where next gen aircraft will be too dangerous for human pilots.
Hypersonic or whatever sounds like a lot of G-force and your brain does not enjoy G-force.
I feel like we should spend more money on next-gen tanks instead like Spider Tanks
David Cook
Oh great another 3 trillion dollar project for a weapon we will literally never use.
Dylan Johnson
> fuck off to /x/
Why?
Sebastian Rivera
The US military focuses on Air superiority so its no surprise programs for new aircraft are so ambitious.
Swarm-style laser-shooting stealth fighter drones and supersonic stealth bombers should be the future of the air force.

I saw the video warning us about drones. Those swarms are scarry as fuck
Jayden Butler
i'm not sure if it's even flown outside of trials, dude
it's a piece of shit and if i had a time machine i would go back and gas everyone involved with bringing it into reality >one plane will do everything
typical fucking retarded old person bullshit
>JSF is a justifiable program best solution to the JSF question in my opinion is advanced EW systems adapted to the F35 to compensate for lack of stealth by other cheaper, more reliable platforms
our issue is readiness, and if we're acquiring $150m planes to replace old pieces of shit where like 75% can't fly, we're never going to have total war-capable readiness levels
Jaxon Reyes
>i saw a video about an exaggeration that existed solely to make a point
Brandon Perry
Ahahaha u mad ? amerifag Who care about your F35 which create by million dollars and get shoot down by normal missiles from our poor country anyway
and now you moan about muh 6 Gen Aircraft ? pathetic
Jackson Scott
Russia and China literally can't even build competent fifth gen aircraft. MAD is going away in a hurry once hypersonic ABM interceptor missile emplacements go up.
Blake Wilson
Still half the price of a B-2A.
Ryan Jackson
Yes. They're deployed in the Pacific Fleet on carriers right now.
Nolan Johnson
China already has hypersonic weapons already too
Dylan Phillips
Hizbu ALLAH has better aircraft that is able to shoot down that F-35 junk without effort.
laser tech is old news. we already have this stuff on planes/drones/tanks with long range IR cameras and can vaporize individual people and destroy vehicles from over a mile away in the darkness of night, without our enemies knowing where it's coming from.

The Airforce barely has its shit together as is, and you're expecting me to believe that it's going to succesfully employ any of that within this short of a timeframe? They can barely manage to work with what they have now and manning is still at an all time low.
America is selling all it's allies the F-35 and China and Russia are only a couple years away from selling anyone with the money their own 5th gens. Also Japan and Europe are reportedly investigating their own 6th gen programs. America only gets to remain top dog along as they can stay a generation ahead of everyone else.
It's going to take about 20 years before any such 6th gen jet can enter service at which point the last of america 4th and 4.5 gens will be at retirement age.
David Nguyen
while white americans roam the sky unchallenged their true enemy culturally enrich them on the ground
Jaxson Russell
The tech already exists to make an autonomous fighter. The only issue the ethics behind giving a computer the power to kill people based on it's own decision making ability. A computer controlled fighter will always out perform a human counterpart because machines react faster, think faster, don't get tired or distracted, don't hesitate, don't fell stressed and aren't effected by g-forces as much as people.
Carson Miller
>The F-22 has never shot down another aircraft Just few days ago F-22 got chased away like a bitch by Su-35 in Syria
You can scare goat farmers with us "tech", but not Russia. We can not only detect your "stealth" shit easily, we can also simply turn it off in mid flight via EWF capabilities and facilities too as US is retardedly unprepared.
Anthony Robinson
Russia is a declining technological and economic power. I doubt they'd have the financial clout or technical know how to have a 6th generation program. All eyes will be on China. The 2010s will be seen as Russia swan song.

Ballistic re-entry vehicles are hypersonic targets. THAAD, Standard Missile and S-400/500 will just need just another set of missiles added to the systems.
Joseph Rogers
>broke Yeah ok. As long as we pay our bills and wave our big dicks appropriately.
Angel Lewis
>Russia will build better defense as always.. they know they can t compete with US on the sttack so they invest all on defense
Alternatively they will seek asymmetric response like heavy ultra long range torpedoes with massive nuclear warheads. Something that dwarfs megaton class warheads of past, maybe even salt the warhead with cobalt. Abandoning the current trend of smaller nuclear weapons not that genocidial targeting policy. One that focuses on military targets instead of economic targets and expand it to ecological warfare.

Aircrafts and ships aren't as useful as they used to be missiles made it easy to destroy them even if the army don't have good ships and aircrafts
