NGAD: America's SHOCKING Engine in Sixth-Gen Fighter Jet
The last 100+ years of technological advancements have all led to this — the sixth generation of fighter jets and the jet engines that’ll power them. The new fighter being developed under the Next Generation Air Dominance program, or NGAD program, has been assigned the almost-impossible task of satisfactorily replacing the F-22 Raptor from service. The Raptor was the world’s first fifth-generation fighter and it has been the most superior fighter on the planet since it entered service almost two decades ago. With special thanks to its heavy-duty engines that each produce up to 35,000 pound-force of thrust, the Raptor’s Mach 2.25 top speed, 2,000-mile maximum range, 65,000-foot service ceiling, supercruise ability, and athletic agility make the fighter unrivaled in the skies. Impressive as these Raptor capabilities are, the NGAD fighter’s specs must surpass them… by a lot.
