If true the NGAD project was really a colossal waste of resources. I want this to be disinformation, but our adversaries don't rely on aviation blog articles for their intel. If true, here are the reasons I can think of. Would love to hear other opinions: - Death by feature/scope creep - A change back to simpler warfare in recent conflicts instead of the anticipated ultra high-tech aerial combat - The Air Force was sold the aircraft equivalent of "vaporware" - An anticipated technology essential for the project did not pan out - An unexpected new technology or other factor emerged that warrants re-thinking the project
