Is this the new F-47 concept?

Above:  Is  this the new F-47 concept?

Images from AREA-51 introduce a strange, possible hypersonic stealth aircraft. This mystery aircraft uses the “Christmas tree” stealth technology, if the article in the TWZ is right. This means that the first flying prototypes of the F-35 successor are airborne. The fact is this. The F-35 is one of the most fundamental aircraft types on Earth. 

The aircraft has shown its superiority in Iran and other conflicts. And it's the state-of-the-art technology. But the permission to export that aircraft is the thing that causes suspicion that something more fundamental than the F-35 Lightning II is already operational. And maybe that interesting-looking concept is some kind of part of that thing. The new 6th-generation jet fighter. It will be faster, capable of hypersonic speed. The hypersonic system can drop drones into the atmosphere.

The idea of a jet fighter that can make a ballistic jump out of the atmosphere.  And return is not new. In the late. WWII. Nazis conducted theoretical research with a project called “Sibervogel” (Silver Bird). The idea was to create the trans-atmospheric vehicle, TAV. The suborbital bombers are also planned in the Soviet Union. But the Sibervogel was too complicated for the 1940s technology. And that system remained as a concept ark. 

The TAV vehicle could deliver a 45 kg concrete projectile to the target. The speed of those projectiles could be Mach 4 to 10. The project was too complicated. But the idea of the hypersonic aircraft. 

"Sibervogel" concept

X-15

The SR-72 Darkstar

That could jump out of the atmosphere. And then release. A kinetic energy ammunition to target remains. The X-15 rocket planes launched under the B-52. Those rocket planes were pathfinders for space shuttles. But during that project, USAF researchers developed the ability to create the space fighter.  This kind of system can act as a “super A-10”. 

The hypersonic aircraft that shoots concrete bullets at the target can cause a devastating effect. Another thing. Tha. This kind of aircraft. can carry ASAT weapons. The hypersonic aircraft that carries anti-satellite missiles. It can be a very powerful tool. The SR-72 Darstar is a more advanced concept. That can.be used as a base for the F-47 program.

The Darkstar is as fast as X-15. So, it can have many fundamental roles. The speed of both systems is about Mach 6. 

The hypersonic aircraft can travel to very high altitudes. And maybe, even to jump outside the atmosphere. This system must also have the capacity. To cooperate with drone swarms and other autonomous and semi-autonomous systems. The new AI-based systems are more fundamental than people expect. When the jet fighter pilot operates. The highly advanced jet fighters, like the F-35. Those pilots also train things like AI-controlled digital twins of the jet fighter. The digital twin can operate as an opponent in highly advanced simulations. But those digital twins.

They can be used to control AI-controlled aircraft. There are many suspicions about those next-generation jet fighter systems. And one is that. Maybe there are manned and unmanned versions of those futuristic jet fighters. That should be more advanced and more capable than jet fighters that are already in use. The new jet fighters can have both manned and unmanned versions. 

And they can cooperate with a loyal wingman and other drones. Their computers and telecommunication systems. They can cooperate with other aircraft, unmanned systems, and ground. And ship-based observation platforms. And that means they are acting as centrons in the very complex automated systems. But then we must realize that things like EMP and high-power jammers. They can damage that communication interface.
