忘记波音与诺斯罗普·格鲁曼公司的对决：美国海军必须问的真正的 F/A-XX 战斗机问题
诺斯罗普·格鲁曼公司上周日发布的 F/A-XX 下一代海军战斗机概念视频时长为 15 秒。无尾机身、折叠机翼、背部进气口——这架喷气式飞机坐落在看起来像福特级飞行甲板的地方，锋利且属于尚未有人知道如何支付费用的未来。再看一遍。不要看[…]帖子《忘记波音与诺斯罗普·格鲁曼：美国海军必须问的真正的 F/A-XX 战斗机问题》首先出现在 19FortyFive 上。
来源:19FortyFiveThe F/A-XX next-gen naval fighter concept video Northrop Grumman posted last Sunday runs for fifteen seconds.Tailless airframe, folding wings, dorsal intakes — the jet sitting on what looks like a Ford-class flight deck, sharp and belonging to a future nobody has figured out how to pay for yet.
Watch it again.不要看飞机。 Look at where it’s sitting — a carrier, somewhere in the Philippine Sea, inside a threat environment that the designers of that airframe need to defeat before anything leaves a weapons bay.
这个问题没有出现在视频中。八月也解决不了。
F/A-XX 和一个无法解决任何问题的里程碑
上周日，考德尔上将在海空天会议上对记者表示，海军预计将在奥古斯特·波音或诺斯罗普公司之前选择一家承包商。 One goes home, EMD (Engineering and Manufacturing Development) begins, a program that has spent years bouncing between the budget axe and congressional rescue, finally gets traction.
它没有得到驱动整个努力的问题的答案。
The F/A-XX has been cut, restored, nearly surrendered to the Air Force’s F-47 timeline, and cut again — not because the competing designs were inadequate, but because the Pentagon hasn’t resolved what a carrier air wing actually needs to accomplish against China in a shooting war.
The specific questions remain open: whether the carrier operates inside or outside the weapons engagement zone on Day One, whether it absorbs first-wave attrition or holds back for follow-on strikes.

当合同终止时，制度上的模糊性并没有消失。它被吸收到程序中并钙化。一旦 EMD 开始，该程序就会发展自己的免疫系统。需求被锁定，预算加深，改变路线的成本上升速度快于支付意愿。
即使其背后的概念是错误的，飞机仍然会非常擅长执行它。
