The United States has released renderings of its sixth-generation carrier-based fighter, the F/A-XX, but the configuration is yet to be finalized.

Northrop Grumman has released renderings of its sixth-generation carrier-based fighter aircraft, the F/A-XX, for the U.S. Navy, but only the front part is visible, showing features such as the nose, cockpit, and back-mounted air intakes, but the wings and the rear part of the fuselage are not displayed.

But whether this is the final configuration of the F/A-XX is still uncertain. Because the funding allocated for the development of the F/A-XX in the 2026 fiscal year is very limited, which means that the development of the F/A-XX is actually in a standstill.

The United States currently does not have the capability to develop two sixth-generation aircraft at the same time. At present, it is mainly focusing on ensuring the development of the U.S. Air Force's sixth-generation aircraft, the F-47, which is most important to the old man. It is not yet clear when the F/A-XX will truly enter the fast track of development. If the actual development work can only start several years later, the situation may change significantly, and the design plan may also change.
