Air International 2024-12 / J.Lake - In development and in trouble
When the second Dassault NGF concept was unveiled at the 2019 Paris Air Salon, the full-scale mock-up was displayed next to models of the Airbus recoverable remote carrier, and MBDA's expendable remote carrier

Air International 2021-10 / R.Coppinger - Powering the future
Dassault Aviation and Airbus unveiled a mock-up of the Next-Generation Weapon System (NGWS) fighter at the 2019 Paris Airshow. The aircraft will require a new type of propulsion system

Air International 2021-10 / R.Coppinger - Powering the future
The NGWS is intended to deliver a sixth-generation fighter into a number of European air forces, and will require a leap forward in terms of jet engine technology

Dassault's later NGF concept, seen here flanked by a Rafale and a Falcon 10X cabin mock-up, remains a relatively small aircraft - significantly smaller than Airbus' version of NGF, much smaller than the US NGAD is likely to be, and dwarfed by the rival Anglo-Italian-Japanese GCAP concept

Air International 2022-06 / P.Felstead - Dawn of a new era
France's FCAS project suggests that stealth will be a key element of its sixth-gen fighter design
The next-generation fighter (NGF) element of the Franco-German-Spanish FCAS/SCAF programme was intended to be ready for service by 2040, but workshare issues might lead the programme to slip -

Dassault’s history of leading aviation programmes has given it the confidence to pursue a similar path with SCAF, although difficulties remain in getting all parties to agree

Air International 2024-12 / J.Lake - In development and in trouble
LAUNCHING THE demonstrator phase for the Systeme de Combat Aerien du Futur (SCAF; Future Combat Air System), the French, German and Spanish governments have awarded the initial framework contracts (Phase 1A) to a consortium comprising programme leaders Dassault Aviation and Airbus, along with project partners MBDA, MTU Aero Engines, Safran and Thales.
Dassault's NGF concept has widely spaced, highly canted tailfins, and arrow wing, and forward-swept intakes like those on the F-35. The aircraft is the smallest and most distinctive of the sixth-generation fighter concepts we have seen so far on -

Recoverable remote carriers surround the Airbus NGF concept. The Airbus concept is larger than those shown by Dassault, better optimised for long-range and larger payloadsДругие самолёты на фотографии: Airbus FCAS Remote Carrier - International - 2025

Airbus’s FCAS concept is very different from the NGF concept shown by Dassault. As things stand, the French company has design leadership for the manned fighter
This Hensoldt impression of the Airbus NGF concept is a two-seater, with conventional, non-stealth engine nozzles and relatively closely spaced engines, leaving little space for internal weapons bays. The nose contours leave space for a large AESA radar antenna -

A manned aircraft, working alongside a UCAV and swarms of weapon-carrying and sensorcarrying Mules, is this vision of an FCAS.
