Pratt & Whitney Engine Reveal Hints at NGAD F-47 Stealth Fighter

Pratt & Whitney’s release about the XA103 adaptive-cycle engine includes imagery of a sixth‑generation, tailless, blended‑wing fighter with front canards, dorsal refueling, and thrust‑vectoring exhaust—design elements closely aligned with the Air Force’s Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) program and the anticipated F‑47.

Boeing was selected to develop NGAD in 2025, with first flight targeted around 2028 and fielding in the 2030s.
