Washington: Most countries in the world still have not reached fifth generation fighter jets. At the same time, America has said that it will make a sixth generation fighter aircraft. US President Donald Trump has announced that it will form a Boeing company, which will be known as F-47. The US has not done all this suddenly, but it is directly to compete with China, as it has started working on the sixth generation fighter Jet J-36. Trump said, “They will have unprecedented power, which enemies will not even see.” The most powerful fighter jet in the US Air Force is Fifth generation F-35 at the moment, which is made by Lockheed Martin. The price of every F-35 is between $ 80 million to $ 115 million. Many people call it the most powerful fighter jet, but its critics call it white elephant. The question is what we know about F-47 and how powerful it is compared to the J-36 of China.
The name of F-47 is a dispute in itself. Because Trump is the 47th President of America, many people believe that this is why such a name has been named. However, Trump calls it a coincidence. This aircraft is officially called Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD). The NGAD was thought of as a 'family of a system' around the sixth-generation fighter aircraft to compete with China and Russia. According to the BBC, Trump described it as the deadliest aircraft ever.
Fighter jet testing
Trump claimed that the Test version of the aircraft had been flying secretly for many years. The characteristics of the aircraft are currently secret. However, it is believed that it will have stealth capacity and advanced sensors and state -of -the -art engines. The picture that has come out of it, many experts do not consider it different from the earlier stealth planes. According to the AP report, the development of this aircraft will cost about 20 billion dollars. According to the report by Air and Space Force.com, Chief of Staff General David W Alvin said, “F-47 is actually a sixth generation fighter aircraft with the world's first crew.”
What is the strength of China's J-36
According to China's claim, the J-36 is a sixth generation fighter aircraft, but it is impossible to verify it. According to The War Zone report, it is being developed by Chengdu aircraft corporation. The information has also been kept very secret by China. Recently there have been many videos of its flying. Looking from the video, it seems that its size is like a triangle. This includes telless configuration, which increases the ability to avoid radar's grip. Aerodynamic efficiency also increases for long distance operations. The J-36 is reportedly operated by three WS-10C Turbofan engine.
The size of J-36 is believed to have the ability to carry additional fuel. It is reportedly internal place for advanced weapons and sensors. The J-36 is likely to have side-loving airborne radar, electro-optical sensor and low-objective techniques. According to The Diplomat, the length of J-36 is about 22 meters. At the same time, its wingspan is 20 meters. It can be a two -pilot aircraft. At the same time, it may have PL-17 Air to Air Missile. Photos and videos of the first flight of J-36 came in December 2024. Then it was flying with the J-20 aircraft.
