Coming soon, capable of aerospace flight. Say something nice about it.
>>62886459Are those super dooper hornets?
Surely this will be a unique design and not a horrific mesh of the F-35 and F-22 again. Clueless
>>62886459I've been saying for a while that 6th gen fighters should have suborbital capabilities and energy weapons as defining features. Nice to see the idea catching on.
>>62886459>Coming soon
>>62886459Any word on the specs? Looks like its made to travel a good distance
>>62886459God I hope GCAP turns out well.
>>62886459I thought they ditched this wing layout in favor of a hexagon wing like yf23?
>>62886459It looks kinda neat. Needs moar triangles though.
>>62886459Is this carrier capable?
Bongs in charge of designing aesthetically planes.
>>62886459Impressive innit?
>>62886459>capable of aerospace flight.wow planes that fly
>>62886459>No horizontal tail>Still has vertical taillmao
>>62891131idgi look at all those trailing edge flaps, arent those like a tail?
>>62886459lmfao, the f35 must be a fucking debacle for all these idiotic indigenous '6th gen' fighter jets to all crop up at once,
>>62891193You're missing the point, a vertical tail contributes much more to radar cross section than a horizontal tail, if you're going to get rid of one, it should be the vertical. As it is, they're giving up maneuverability and take of distance and not gaining much stealth benefit.
>>62891827Nah helmettard, this is just nature healing and it being more economical to just buy into f35 for a 5th gen while building a 6th gen. Its also an international effort, which will probably be fine since the french arent involved.
>>62886459>see thread on the catalog>mistook the contrails for twin boomsman... i thought kino was back...
>>62886459It will bring great glory to the British Caliphate
>>62891855>our inigenous 6th gen, that is literally just an f35 but with more gas, and a bigger weapons bay (something it absolutely should have had anyway)
>>62891851I’m sure the small children who designed the jet didn’t think of that, genius anon. Some esoteric knowledge like radar cross section probably didn’t occur to them
>>62892009If anything, an acknowledgment that the f35 was good but ok
>>62886459There's a very real chance that it might almost enter production before the MOD cancels the funding this time (it has to happen eventually, r...right?).
>>62892027Yes, it's pretty well known, which tells you that the bongs didn't have good enough flight controls to get away with deleting the vertical tail.
>>62886459Ignore the naysayers.They look good.Pls don't station them in the Falklands, your Typhoons already mog everything in the continent and it makes people antsy.t. Argie
>>62886459Italian news outlets wrote last week that the agreed workshare is now 33% UK - 33% Japan - 33% Italy.I previously thought it was 40-40-20.
>>62892338it wont matter because there is a 0% chance even a single airframe is produced in anything other than .jpg format
>>62886459Where were you when we returned to using guns in jet fighters as missiles become irrelevant. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/new-air-defence-laser-engages-multiple-missiles-at-once

>>62887879Tell us you don't understand modern aerodynamic theory and low observability planform geometry, without saying "I dont know why aircraft look the shape they do">>62886459>capable of aerospace flight.Doubt.jpg.
> Prime Minister Meloni held a meeting on Tuesday with Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Rio de Janeiro where the three leaders discussed various aspects of the project, including bringing in new members on board for the project.Italy seems to be wanting to involve at least 1 more country.
>>62892548>first prototype already being built>more countries being involved>b-b-but iit won't fly!, why?, b-because i said so!Take your meds you retard
>>62892338Italian news outlets have been writing about equal share for 2 or 3 years and it never happened. I'll believe it when all 3 countries actually confirm it.
>>62893409I could see another country joining as an observer or as a junior partner with severely limited involvement, but Japan has made it pretty clear they do not want to shake things up too drastically at this point. The UK and Italy can afford to drag their feet but Japan has China on their doorstep and as far as they're concerned, they need GCAP ASAP.
>>62895176>they need GCAP ASAP.what will the GCAP do the F35 isnt?the f35 should have served every role the GCAP is being designed for
>>62895513>f35 does thing>gcap improves on thing>want gcap in the futureYou got stagnant retard brain
>>62895527>gcap improves on thingspecifically how, and in what wayf35 was a $trillion dollar multi-decade projecthow will the the GCAP avoid this?
By the time it's done (2050) piloted aircraft will be hilariously obsolete.
>>62895547>trillion$ copeProbably improved senor suites, avionics, indigenous production lines, larger weapons bay, improved stealth, ewar suites, that sort of thing. New fighters used to get pumped out every 5 years, now its more like every 20. I dont see why youre seething so bad about it or why you dont get that in western nations technology continues improving.
>>62893045That's jammer.
>>62895513It has two engines so it has longer range and can carry more shit. it's locally built so they don't have to rely on whatever schizo gen alpha puts into the american presidency>>62895547Thats the total program cost and the F-35 program is only going to have passed a trillion when it's successor is already in the works, it hasn't passed that yet
>>62895547F-35 is three disparate planes under one monolithic budget.
>>62895592>the euro-GCAP is fundamentally the stupidest MIC project currently publicly talked aboutYou're French... Right? That's the only reason you could think FCAS has more legs than GCAP.
>>62895592Whatever you say, im sure a neet with russian sympathies like yourself should have a seat at the table lol
>>62887879Nah it'll be an F-35 but with a delta wing
>>62891902>booms over twice as long as the jetbased retard
>>62896272>every new games console just like a slightly different version of the last one!it's a fighter, the f35 is the best one, obviously everything looks vague like one if having being single engine and having any wing config is too similar for you, we don't even have any specs
>>62896272>>62898242also there are actual f35 ripoffs like the j35, GCAP and FCAS will just be similar
>>62886459>capable of aerospace flightwhat does this mean, can it go into space?
>>62893105Speagle!
>>62896272They already confirmed it'll be twin engined. Japan and the UK want something with pretty decently longer range and higher payload than the F-35.
But seriously, it kinda makes sense for them to start working on 6th gen jet now rather than 5th gen which would at best be ready when F-35 is already well aged up, right?
>>62898584Yes, this isn't slated to enter service until the mid 2030s, and wont be fully in active service until the late 2030s or early 2040s.We're literally 15+ years from GCAP being a major factor.
