Aviation Week is reporting that Boeing has released a new rendering of its proposed F/A-XX sixth-generation naval fighter. The artwork shows the aircraft veiled in clouds as it hovers over a carrier deck, with canards, tail surfaces, and wing tips deliberately hidden, disguising what the plane could look like as a whole. However, what is visible appears extremely similar to the in-development F-47.

Although both the F/A-XX and the Boeing F-47 fall under programs named Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD), they serve distinct roles. The F-47 is being designed specifically for the United States Air Force, whereas the F/A-XX is part of a separate NGAD program intended for the US Navy .
