Categorization of fighter jets in generations is a classification system used around the world. The basic classification into five generations is widely accepted and recognized. Some accounts have subdivided the 4th generation into 4 and 4.5, or 4+ and 4++.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sixth generation Fighter Aircraft<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

With the fifth generation slowly coming into service, attention is already turning to a replacement sixth generation. The requirements for such a fighter are already under debate in the drawing board stage. The fifth-generation abilities for battlefield survivability, air superiority and ground support will need to be enhanced and adapted to the future threat environment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Development time and cost are likely to prove major factors in laying out practical roadmaps for 6th<\/sup> generation aircraft. These aircraft may not be available for decades.<\/span><\/p>\n

These aircraft could have features like hypersonic speed, dual-mode engines, and adaptive shapes.<\/span><\/p>\n

At this stage it is not clear as to what extent drones and other remote unmanned technologies will be able to participate, either as satellite aircraft under a sixth generation command fighter, or even replacing the pilot in an autonomous or semi-autonomous command aircraft.<\/span><\/p>\n

Studies such as the US\u00a0F\/A-XX program\u00a0and UK-led\u00a0BAE Systems Tempest\u00a0are ongoing. Projects related to unmanned combat aircraft systems are in progress, such as the joint French- Swedish nEUROn, the UK\u2019s BAE Taranis, Northrop Grumman\u2019s X-47B and the US Navy\u2019s follow-on UCLASS program. Similar unmanned combat aircraft projects are also underway in Russia and China.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
