"Skunk Works Unveils Futuristic Tailless NGAD Fighter Design in Bold Ad"

Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works has released a new ad showcasing a tailless manned tactical jet concept as part of its 80th-anniversary celebration. The design aligns with the Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) initiative and features a similar wing shape and planform as previous NGAD-related posts. The ad also hints at a potential two-crew configuration, highlighting the focus on automation and artificial intelligence in NGAD. Additionally, the video reveals a faceted flying wing unmanned combat air vehicle (UCAV)-like design, emphasizing Lockheed's commitment to next-generation unmanned systems. While these concepts offer insights into Skunk Works' future plans, they may not accurately represent the finalized NGAD product or other classified projects.
