As others have said the NGAD won't have a single engine and will be much larger. I will add that it almost certainly will be a TWIN seat plane. One pilot and one drone operator. America is building this plane to fight in the Pacific over areas many thousands of miles in size without suitable airstrips. Range, speed and longevity are top priorities.

There's also Rook, Jay, Jackdaw, and Magpie in the same family to pull names from.

For the name, I was leaning towards Owl (or some variant thereof). Reason being that the focus here is on stealth and being able to take down the target before they even know what hit them. The owl, among all other birds of prey, is noted for being silent in flight and capable of ambushes even in densely packed forests. So much so that owl wings are a major study topic in biomimicry for reducing noise in fans, wings, helicopter blades, boat propellors, etc.

I see no reason for a manned aircraft at all. These planes could be flown from anywhere on Earth. Also removing the crew would allow the aircraft to maneuver at forces well above a sustained 10Gs, the human limit. If two truly stealth fighters meet in aerial combat, it may quickly break down into a gunfight so the most maneuverable plane wins.

Considering the Viper name is just a nickname for the F-16(it’s officially Fighting Falcon) I think Viper is appropriate. Plus it kinda looks like the Viper in Battlestar Galactica.

@PilotPhotog

Interestingly one of the original proposed names for the F-16 was the Viper due to the orignal BSG show being on the air at the time in the late 1970s. The name was rejected because a general famously said that he didn't want a fighter to be named "after some snake" The pilots and maintainers continued to call it the Viper anyway, and there is an award given to the top F-16 pilot each year which has the name Viper in it. Officially it is the "Fighting Falcon" but the latest F-16, the F-16V is referred to as the Viper. Here is a video I did about the F-16, including a the story of the naming with the full quote from that general: kzread.info/dash/bejne/YoRpus-ao5Oym8o.html

Yes, that lever will have to rest on a solid fulcrum. Like Physics. Directional signaling and Electromagnetic suppression/stealth might be a factor. Maybe they should build it from Plywood. Let's not forget that "Stealth" or "The RCS-reduction of certain shapes" was calculated by a sovjet scientist, in the 40's i believe. During the 90's Lockheed bought a ton of old Yakovlev patents and paperwork. Because Yeltsin the Drunk Bear had sold out the Industry to USA (Remember cheap fuel)? Yet Russia Never put a Stealth plane into production. Have you wondered why they only did so, AFTER the USA did? Because they remembered the Realities of the cold war. No matter how stealth your plane is, It can't fly forever. And an ICBM has no problem hitting an airfield. And even the biggest Bombers don't have the firepower to "first strike" a country into submission. It is either conventional warfare or "Game Over". And "game over" is bad for MIC-Business.

Nice job on the CGI model, but no way this will be their NGAD prototype. It's too small and the single engine design won't meet the range requirements for NGAD, which are much longer than the F-22 and F-35. I believe this design is more likely to be one of the NGAD X-Plane technology demonstrators that Kendall revealed a few weeks ago.

Interesting concept - just don't land in a strong cross-wind! Vectored thrust can only do so much for you. Taking off will not be easy either.

I can't help but think that keeping the plane stable at low speeds (i.e. landing) is going to be tricky. Not much margin for error with in-line control surfaces, so unless AI does some kind of magic, this thing may be coming in fast and require some seriously long runways.

Remove all surfaces that do not contribute to lift, increase thrust 140%-180% (using F-22 & F-32 numbers) then increase altitude to say 70K FT - it’s not hard to see that Mach 3+ over the Pacific is not only possible, but desirable.

Another great post Juan, I suspect the NGAD's significant departure from current operational "stealthy fighter" designs, means NGAD is more aerodynamically unstable than its predecessors. If so, logically that leads to need for a flight management system of superior capabilities. Thus looking forward, the man in the loop becomes NGAD's weakest link. A romantic notion...if the flight management system were to monitor pilot physiology. It could limit the aircraft to fly only to the pilot's limits despite being capable of harder maneuvers. Couple enhanced manned aircraft performance with unmanned wingman performance...potentially potent. Especially with SEAD and other interdiction missions.

@@Gunni1972 right. Because they are going to report to you .....

It seems NGAD will be bigger than an F-22 thus 2 engines and 2 persons a pilot and drone operator and a larger weapons bay. Pacific reach is critical.

Depends on what it's capable off...

Name suggestion: Adder

You never know Lockheed may not even be the winner of the contract!!!

boeing has also considered making an NGAD entry. though they probably will not build it due to the 737 max troubles
