The armed forces of
the United States have competed amongst themselves for generations, so it would
be surprising if they weren’t already heating up over the future
sixth-generation fighter.
“Future” is the
operative word: Even the most aggressive timelines predict a first flight
unlikely before 2028, with an entry to service in the early 2030s. The project
demands relatively small fiscal resources for now — just over $5.1 billion of
the $1.5 trillion defense budget rolled out this week.
