Role Fighter aircraft

Developed from Fifth-generation fighter

A sixth-generation fighter is a conceptualized class of jet fighter aircraft design more advanced than the fifth-generation jet fighters that are currently in service and development. Several countries have announced the development of a national sixth-generation aircraft program, including the United States, Russia and China, whilst other countries have collaborative multinational programmes like Japan with Italy and the United Kingdom, and also France with Germany and Spain. This is done to spread developmental costs.[1] The first sixth-generation fighters are expected to enter service in the 2030s.
