The NGAD program assumes, among other things, the creation of a sixth generation fighter. Chief of Staff of the US Air Force (Air Force) Charles Brown said the NGAD work would not affect the supply of the F-35 Lightning II.
“We are looking at what will complement the F-35 in 10-15 years. Do I have a future design to see where we need to go? We are considering not only the capabilities of the Air Force fighters, but also what other services have in order to better understand where we are, as we are discussing future budgets, “- transfers the words of Brown to Lenta.ru.
