New Gen 6th U.S. Fighter Jet Being Made

By Yaseen Jangikhan

The U.S. military has started the design process for a new Gen 6 fighter jet, which will be ready by 2030. The U.S. military will end up building this jet, which will be compatible with air, land, and sea. The point of this Gen 6 fighter jet being made is to replace the F-22 Raptor, which will be seeking retirement in 2030. With new stealth, radar, missile, and flight technology, as well as much more, being installed into this Gen 6 fighter jet, it will surely take the number one spot for the most powerful fighter jet on the planet. The U.S. military already has contracts with Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Northrop-Gruman for production and design, which will start in 2024.

The U.S. military has still classified this aircraft, and they will not reveal much of its technology; however, we are aware of a few new, better technologies it will be equipped with. The new Gen 6 fighter will have advanced stealth technologies, which will reduce its radar cross-section and make it much harder to detect by any enemy radar system. There will also be improved radar systems and electronic warfare systems, which will give fighter pilots an advantage in combat. AI is having an increasing usage in weapons by far more than ever. The Gen 6 fighter jet will have improved AI installed, which will help decision-making and awareness around the cockpit. With hypersonics becoming more and more common, it’s a fact that this fighter jet will be equipped with hypersonic weapons, high-speed and high maneuverability, which this jet will be capable of. The use of direct energy and laser weapons is becoming highly popular with research being studied about this. It has a chance to be equipped with this Gen 6 fighter jet.

This Jet, in particular, will take the crown as the most powerful jet on the planet by 2031, mark my words. With the F-22 Raptor suffering from problems all the time, this is a considerable reason why they have started production and research. Ladies and gentlemen, be ready for the new king of the sky.
