6th Gen Fighter on the Drawing Board

As I've said before, I'd prefer to talk about civilian aviation than stuff that goes bang, but occasionally said stuff catches my eye.

Case in point, the F/A-XX. Whilst the US Air Force is shutting down squadrons left, right & centre (See story - USAF sequestration groundings), & the F-35 is still basically wrapped in cotton wool & years behind schedule, the US Navy has reportedly already put out an invitation to the industrial-military complex to come up with the next big thing.

Without plagiarising someone else's work, see the story here.

It seems the US Navy still has money to burn.
