Northrup releases a 6th Gen teaser

a reply to: Northernhollow

Reveal should be the first airframe so as long as it takes to assemble it.

I have to wonder if Lockheed's old Sabre Warrior will play into their 6th concept:

First EMD airframe?

i want a veritech mecha with point defense laser pods, rail gun autocannons and Macross missile massacre launch racks.

a reply to: ThePeaceMaker

This video feels like a commercial for the latest car. However, I'm impressed with fighter jets, and the competition to build the best jets for war.

Whooa the products of Northrop are awesome The 6th gen fighter concept is very sci fi looking, I found the exhaust plume small in the compare of the fighter size ? What type of engine ?

That would be cool but, "Stealth" was never part of that Anime. The closest thing around would be the Osprey/f-35/Harrier and the older Soviet version---- vertical to horizontal flight.

I found the most interesting part to be when the announcer says the word "invisable" there is a shot of the three planes skimming the clouds. But, 1st time thru, I didn't notice the planes in formation. I just saw an "invisable" flying wing shape in the clouds similar to another NG ad. Could have been me not paying attention. Could have been my eyes playing tricks on me. Could have been me seeing what I wanted to see, (not see.) Could have been on purpose by NG. I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

I like that NG is publicly acknowledging optical stealth.

a reply to: Northernhollow

I like that they finally acknowledged another platform.

a reply to: Zaphod58

Hmmm, I wonder what other wing shaped secret program could they have teased?

Seams the bomber and flashy fighter concepts have grabbed everyone's attention away from what NG was doing with its other hand.

They're quite good at that.

That's not the back side of a B2, is it?

a reply to: Badgermole42

The one taking off is. The one we're talking about isn't.

a reply to: Zaphod58

Correct, the one taking off that looks like a B2, but something is a little "off" about it. The moment the video is paused it's obvious that it's something else.

a reply to: Badgermole42

No, that one is a B-2. It's just had a few alterations made to make sure no one sees anything they're not supposed to. They're twitchy about the back of it. There is however another aircraft, shown three times, that everyone has ignored.

a reply to: Zaphod58

Oops, misread your reply. So that is an animared B2 taking off? Did they rearrange some things to keep some secrets?

a reply to: Badgermole42

They made a couple alterations to the back, to cover up some panels and antennas that we're not supposed to see that may or may not have been extended.

I think I see the x47. is that northrops way if saying they won the uclass competition or something?

a reply to: Zaphod58

On the phone now, will have to check it again later on a larger screen. Shown three times huh? Three occurrences or three airframes together in one shot (like in production is on a flight deck)?
