U.S. Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David Allvin has posted an infographic on his X account that compares his service’s 4th, 5th, and future 6th generation fighters, as well as the USAF’s forthcoming Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) ‘fighter drones.’ Albeit very generalized in nature, the graphic provides us with our first official metrics for some of these aircraft, including stating Boeing’s F-47 Next Generation Air Dominance fighter will possess a combat radius of “1,000+” nautical miles. What should be the required range and general performance of the Next Generation Air Dominance manned tactical jet (now officially the F-47) is a very important and hot-button topic.
