Is this our first glimpse of America's new stealth fighter??

On Friday, Air Force Chief of Staff General David Allvin posted a new Air Force recruiting commercial to X/Twitter that includes a brief clip of an unusual new stealth fighter taxiing on a dark runway, offering what may be the world’s first glimpse of one of the technology demonstrators involved in the development of America’s new stealth fighter, designated the F-47.

First image had canards and no vertical stabilizers, this one has vertical stabilizers and no canards. The final one will have neither

It looks to me like it is just an artist concept drawing.

These are where you hire an artists (who does not now what the real aircraft looks like) to draw what they think the new fighter might look like that you can use as an unclassified picture of the real thing.

The vertical tails are a dead giveaway for an “artist conception”.

I’m so confused lmao. Until I see the actual jet I ain’t believing anything😂

[Wvdoctorz]

Alex is such a Jet nerd! He looks almost giddy at the F-47! Love it!

[BoraHorzaGobuchul]

This looks suspiciously like the f-19 from Microprose F-19 Stealth Fighter game :)

A full video about the X65 and active flow control would be cool.

Vertical stabs! VERTICAL STABS!!

(pearl clutching noises, bodies falling on fainting couches, "Someone call the Vicar!")

Alex, I wanna thank you for explaining various assets pertaining to military aviation. I've always been fascinated by it, but I had and still do have limited knowledge on some of the most incredible and technologically advanced systems that our military utilizes. Sandboxx has become one of my FAVORITE channels. You rock brother! 🤙🤙

Ooh, I saw this on TikTok. I was like, wait, what? But I tried to find the actual commercial later, to no avail.
Glad Sandboxx is covering it!

the airforce is just trolling at this point, theyre giving china blue balls for sure

Trying to confuse the enemy by using the classic SEAL Team 6 playbook

(USSR: They're SIX SEAL Teams ?!!?)

Unfortunately that is not what the Boeing F-47 looks like, that is a generic NGAD 3D model concept named Future Jet Fighter Concept 2050 made by Yamato3D on June 3, 2021 and is sold on Turbosquid for $199. The Air Force purchased that 3D model from him on Turbosquid and used it in their latest recruiting commercial/advertisement. They heavily rendered it/animated it and used modern CGI to make it look hyper realistic.

They're just playing head games with China 😂

I was waiting for this video!

I was wondering why no one was talking about it.

Thanks Alex!

If we connect the dots of past official intonations, the technology demonstrators are non-combat rated F-22s equipped with some of the new F-47 technogies. The F-22 that was photographed with the shiny stealth finish (anti-optical, anti-infrared) is probably one of new technologies testbeds.
The new multi micro layered ceramic stealth coating is possibly being incorporated into the mirror reflective finish.

[hemaccabe]

What's really funny, all those years ago, before the F-117 was revealed, everyone was guessing what a stealth fighter would look like and I think Revel made a model. The model looked a LOT like this new plane! :)

[IsaacKuo]

The tail surfaces are not similar to the YF-23, because they overlap the horizontal wing surface. This creates an interior "corner reflector" that may reflect radar back, unlike the YF-23's design which lacks such interior corner reflectors.

[oljimeagle]

It looks very similar to the proposed Lockheed version that they ended up pulling out of the competition. At any rate it looks super cool and very viable.

Imagine if the dark star from top gun was actually an sr72 mock up
