US Navy’s 6th-gen fighter pursues unique design, independent of Air Force NGAD
The Navy emphasizes affordability and practicality with “derivative-type engine solutions” to avoid the Air Force’s acquisition delays and budget overruns.

The US Navy is moving forward with plans for the F/A-XX, a new fighter jet designed to replace the aging F/A-18E/F Super Hornet.

This aircraft aims to be cost-effective, versatile, and independent of Air Force technologies, particularly those used in the Next-Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) platform, which relies on advanced adaptive engines.

While the Navy and Air Force are developing new fighter jets, their approaches differ significantly.

Is there some real reason for the design or is it for show? :shrug:
