- lol I’m low-key curious if orangeboi was like “all those Russian planes have the little front wings, ours should have that too”. Because for a stealth platform, canards are a pretty dumb idea. And last I heard, the NGAD program was exploring boundary-layer stuff in lieu of a lot of the control surfaces.
  
  What's the problem with canards and stealth?

My uneducated ass thought this is a play in Canada and retarded. Had a suspicious numberi of upvotes though.

I've been wondering how much of this contract is pity on Boeing or Boeing capitulating to Trump.

That's strange. I could have sworn the X plane aircraft test beds for 6th gen fighter were all single wing. I was guessing it would be similar to the x-47B drone
