So, correct me if I'm wrong... a few months back NG was hiring for a super high priority project that they did not expect to win? But Boeing is going to win NGAD? So Lockheed has a fast mover that's waiting to be declassified, and just quit the Airbus tanker project to focus on NGAS (NGAD's tanker buddy). Northrop Grumman has the B-21 and something else (likely FA-XX?) Boeing's going to win more KC-46 business and is poised to win NGAD? JetZero is building a blended wing prototype. Sierra's building the 5th Gen Aerial Target Kratos has the XQ-58 Scaled Composites is still flying weird and awesome things around in the desert. Man, the Air Force did say they wanted to see more competition in the field with the new digital century program ... but it's pretty cool to see so many companies all working on advanced aerial projects all at the same time. (And I didn't even get into rotary wing.)
