United State's NGAD & F/A-XX Fighter Programs : Updates and Discussions

It's weird how secretive/classified the shape of the aircraft is which wasn't the case for the F-22 program and definitely not for the F-35 program. The only thing that was classified for both fighters were its capabilities and technology. F-47 program is somewhat like the B2 program with the only difference is the F-47 program is acknowledged as existing were the B2 was not until it was revealed.

That says a lot about chicoms J-36 and j-50 fighters that chicoms are all willy nilly flying them around in public it's almost as if they are propaganda programs.

Their F-47-equivalent hasn't been released yet though. The J-36 and J-50 (J-XDS) are not as important in comparison. So they have at least 2 more independent programs at the minimum.

HUMOR- Like trump said, F-47 will be most advanced, lethal, capable jet, so stealthy that it won't be revealed to public in ceremony actually, but left to be spotted randomly. No static display, no fly-by, no press events, no documentaries, interviews, etc. 🤦‍♂️ :LOL::ROFLMAO:
 
YF-23's designer's conceptual view of F-47 NGAD:

F-22 is 62 ft. long & the drawing is quoted at 61 ft. which i don't is possible for a 6gen specs with bigger better engine, more fuel, weapons, equipment.
NGAD should be expected to be bigger than F-22. So, following is comparison with F-22 after comparing cockpit.

Reactions: Bon Plan
Artist Rodrigo Avella & some others made a CAD earlier speculated to be tail-less F/A-XX with canards.

Almost same model w/o canards have been depicted as NGAD, sometimes with rudders.

Comparing it with F-22, equalized at cockpit, looks like following:
