(Washington D.C.) America’s mysterious sixth-generation stealth fighter has taken to the skies, as much as five to ten years before it may have been anticipated. The early conceptual thinking for the Air Force Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) program, now in development for several years, had been that an actual platform would not likely emerge until 2030.
How could this have happened? One clear and lesser-known reality related to this can be found through the fast-evolving process of digital engineering wherein actual prototype models, design renderings and technology specifics can be replicated, tested and analyzed before there is any “bending of metal.†This process, clearly and simply put, massively helped bring the sixth-generation stealth fighter to life.
