The Air Force Secretly Designed, Built, and Flew a Brand-New Fighter Jet

And it all happened in just one year.
The U.S. Air Force revealed this week that it has secretly designed, built, and tested a new prototype fighter jet. The fighter, about which we know virtually nothing, has already flown and “broken records.” (The image above is Air Force concept art from 2018). The Air Force must now consider how it will buy the new fighter as it struggles to acquire everything from intercontinental ballistic missiles to bombers.

According to Defense News, the Air Force developed the new fighter in about a year—a staggeringly short amount of time by modern standards. The Air Force first developed a virtual version of the jet, and then proceeded to build and fly a full-sized prototype, complete with mission systems. This is in stark contrast to the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.

It all makes so much sense now. Always wondered why they shafted us having to work on an incomplete aircraft (F-35) when all along it was just a front.

Makes a lot of sense. The R&D of our military is famous for this. They spend all this time and money to come out with a new wastepaper basket design for the office and somehow design a new tank and jet in the process.

I've had that thought as well in terms of cost.

In terms of the F-35, it has grown on me. It received a lot of negative publicity, some of it rightfully so. However, there are some capabilities that I think are underappreciated.

F-18s can only be launched from aircraft carriers. The F-35 can be launched from both aircraft carriers as well as small deck LHA/LHDs. Essentially doubling the amount of ships capable of launching fighter jets without doubling the number of aircraft carriers. It is a force multiplier.
