KursadA Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 The T-X win is just a start - I would be very surprised if this design does not evolve into a light fighter within a few years. It has an F404 engine with lots of spare thrust, enough space in the nose for a modern radar and I bet Boeing has already designed it with a fighter version in mind. It may never see USAF service, but could be a worthy competitor in the international light fighter market. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also, a buddy of mine and I were discussing that Boeing may already have done engineering studies to build a carrier capable version for the Navy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
