On the Next Generation Air Dominance #NGAD program, it is claimed that USAF prefers Boeing over Lockheed's design. Vago Muradian reports that LM has pursued an "evolutionary" capability building on its F22 & F35 prgms, while Boeing has pursued a more ambitious "fresher" approach. pic.twitter.com/nHzeJVmbma

록마는 f-22와 f-35에 기반한 기체를 들고 왔는데 보잉은 아예 0부터 새로 만든 기체를 들고 와서 거기서 호평을 받고 있었단 말이 있었음.
이제 와 보면 공군 내에서 저런 기류가 감돌고 있었고 최종 선택의 시간이 다가왔을 때 이 기류들이 영향을 끼쳤을 듯
F-35의 개발 난항에 F-22의 가격이라도 들고온건가 아니면 미공군이 선진적인건가
