Are there any 6th generation fighter jets being worked on?

Question

I know the latest fighters are 5th gen, but are there any experimental 6th gens out there?

Answer 1

It should be UCAVs as the 6th-gen.

We dont know who will win out the low-RCS vs "High Power-High Sensitivity-High Processing Power" radar wars. But the missiles are winning the G-wars, so it would be smarter to make combat aircraft that can outsmart/outmaneuver the modern missiles. A man (or woman) might not survive such extreme G-Forces, so UCAVs it gotta be.

Answer 2

Since the debut of the Predator unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV), and it's successes as a platform with air-to-ground vehicles, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has been making developments toward an unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV). Aircraft from this project are expected to have abilities like making 15 G-turns (highest a human can reasonably take is 9.5), cost less than an F-16 Falcon (human environmental systems support is expensive) and be about 3/4 the size.
Good reason to let the kids keep playing video games, isn't it?

Answer 3

6th generation fighters will more than likely be un-manned I believe they are working on some projects but you wont see them for another 15-20 or know the progress they are probably listed top secret.

Answer 4

S.H.,

R & D is constantly ongoing...you'll likely not hear about them until they're flying, however...you know why.

The Raptors are simply amazing, aren't they, with the thrust vectoring capabilities?

Answer 5

would guess that there are concept airplanes (nothing that will ever go into production -- except what china is working on, but it can't compete yet)

the "new threat" is not about speed or cool features on airplanes :(
we're going away from faster, bigger, better...and into quieter, safer
