What upgrades will the F-22 Super and F-55 have?

>>63961863 (OP)
HMD, CCA integration, they seem to be testing a new silver coating speculated to have better performance against infrared, stealthy drop tanks, an IRST system that seems to be podded but may end up not being that since Lockheed is pitching something called IRDS that is apparently an upgrade over its old infrared sensors for the MAW system, and finally new missiles. F-55 is probably someone explaining F/A-XX as similar to a twin engine F-35 and Trump running with it without understanding it. The future of that program probably depends heavily on what Ken Calvert can push through as chair of Defense Appropriations, though that whole committee seems in favor of funding it so Navy might get that in the budget through their wishlist. F-35 is getting TR3, Block IV, an engine upgrade eventually, and a lot of new weapon integration though that’s taking a long time.

Upgrade the F-15 Eagle and A-10 Warthog instead.

>>63962364
If it goes ahead F-55 will be a 6th gen multirole fighter with two engines from Lockheed Martin as a next generation eventual replacement of the F-35. F-47 will be A2A.

>>63963030
I don’t think there’s anything to go ahead on. Lockheed got dropped from the Navy program and lost the Air Force one, while the F-35 program is behind on everything. They can’t accommodate a 6th gen program currently. Trump is also notorious for not really paying attention in briefings then saying a bunch of stuff based completely off vibes, F-55 was never real. It’s possible he was confused after being told about an F/A-XX demonstrator, since a retired Navy pilot listed experience flying a “YF-45D” on his LinkedIn not long ago, which would fit with NGAD becoming F-47 and the new drones being -42 and -44

just like the US space program that was kickstarted by stealing Soviet design, and the nuke program and the air force that were created on the back of anonymous Chinese scientists, the AUS (America United States) have to wait for either Russia or China to come up with something for them to copy.

Notice how after the B-2 and F22 everything they made has been shitshows after shitshows. That is because the end of the cold wars resulting in mass repatriation of Chinese and Russian scientists to their motherlands. Also, the American drank their own coolaid and started to replace Chinese and Soviet born scientists with American born and Pajeets and DEI.

F-55 was a proposal made by the CEO of Lockheed in an earnings call immediately after they got passed up for NGAD. So far it only exists as a bunch of corpo marketing speak designed to placate investors.

>“And we plan on applying those [NGAD] technologies to our current systems, making our already proven products even more relevant to the future, as well as enhancing the capabilities we provide in ongoing and future development. For example, the knowledge and technology development gained from our investments in the NGAD competition strengthened our conviction to enhance the F-35 to a ‘5th generation plus’ capability.
>And I challenged the team to deliver 80% of 6th gen capability at 50% of the cost. In support of this vision, we’re also committing to drive disruptive innovation and building upon our recent established internal capabilities and AI autonomy, crewed-uncrewed teaming, and command and control systems across the whole company.

>We have aligned these technology investments with our customer priorities and demonstrated meaningful increases in capabilities at relatively low cost.“

I see, so China (and everyone else) is butthurt about tariffs out of concern for US consumers and not at all because tariff costs nuke China's (and others) competitiveness.

Anyhow, we're building our own now. And, due to the fungible nature of money, I can argue that China's helping pay for it :)

Nope, at the end of Trumps first term they were at 7.5%. They are now layered (different % depending on the industry and the product) and sit at an average of 51%. This has more than halved our trade deficit with China.

Again, what the fuck are you talking about? Are you literally Chinese and only consume state-sponsored media?

China's first 6 months surplus was 500 billion dollars. That's gonna be 1 trillion dollars by the end of the year. Even the Brit at its zenith of power and mercantilism did not have that kind of surplus.
>it will go down because it's front loaded
since 2016. That was Trump's first term.

>>63964901
>Is there even a usecase in the future for the a10 that some other airframe can't do?
An A-10 could fly slow enough and low enough to shoot down a swarm of drones by carrying 114 APKWS rockets plus 1174 rounds in its gun, and it could loiter for a long time between refueling compared to other platforms. Plus, it could be forward deployed where the F-35 can't. So, an updated A-10 anti-drone package could be incredibly useful.

You do realize that without blacks and spics the US would have had a Trillion dollar(2010USD) budgetary surplus every single year for the last 40 years right? China is a hole but unlike the US has no excuses, you don't have jews or darkies to blame for your deficiencies. For that matter globohomo gave you a massive leg up and deliberately invested in China. Xi could have milked that relationship for decades more and accumulated more wealth while giving essentially zero political concessions, instead he got high on his own supply and alienated the libtards and jews. You do understand they don't really fear China, they fear white nationalism and a genocidal white autarkic state which would hunt them down and kill them all. China treats its own chinks the way jews would like to treat whites, ie barely subsistence level wage slaves crammed into sardine can apartments.

Very believable Chinese numbers which I'm sure are directly comparable and not for example including the weight of the thrust vectoring nozzle in the rounded up transport weight of the F119 but leaving out the nozzle weight for the WS-15, which definitely exists and produces 40000+lbf of thrust while weighing less than two tons. I am implessed.

>>63969752
>NOOOO BUT MY METODITCHKA
nobody cares chinkshill, you are not capable of an argument in good faith therefore your opinion is no longer relevant.

>>63970116
So the F-119 still has a TWR of 9 and F-135 of 11 like they were initially advertised?

>>63970147

you're a pathological liar who's been caught lying about everything under the sun, you're passive aggressive and extremely avoidant, and whenever you lose the argument, you either stop talking or post a homoerotic image of your favourite dictator.
there's no point in reasoning with someone this mentally ill, just mocking you.

>>63970147
TWR of an engine by itself is a bullshit number that can be massaged up and down by including or not including the weight of fluids, nozzle, secondary air systems, fadec, etc. I can claim an FXXX on a test stand has a TWR of 12+ by only counting the gaspath parts, or that it has a TWR <6 by including the fuel system of the airframe. Total TWR of a combat configured aircraft can be compared directly and maybe sort of matters for dogfight benchracing, but every published engine weight number is fudged.

>>63970116
>including the weight of the thrust
The nozzle is part of engine dumbass
You just need to design a cope nozzle to improve the TWR
