US defence spending bill could expose new details of sixth-generation fighter development
The 2024 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) approved by Congress on 14 December could expose new details regarding US plans for next-generation aircraft.
For both NGAD and F/A-XX, as well as the accompanying CCA development efforts, the navy and air force must submit detailed reports outlining the programme goals, key technical milestones and testing events. Congress also mandated the two services provide detailed cost estimates for the first two phases of development: engineering and manufacturing design, and low-rate initial production. Specifically, the USAF and USN will have to provide cost estimates for recurring flyaway cost, average procurement unit cost, gross unit cost, aircraft cost-per-tail-per-year and aircraft cost-per-flight-hour for the two sixth-generation fighter programmes, as well as CCAs.
The first reports are due within 180 days of the legislation’s passage, meaning the unclassified details should be publicly available by June 2024.

EAST HARTFORD, Conn., Feb. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Pratt & Whitney, an RTX (NYSE: RTX) business, has completed a critical assessment of its Next-Generation Adaptive Propulsion (NGAP) offering with the U.S. Air Force, moving the program closer to completing its detailed design review. The team is now working towards ground testing of its NGAP prototype, referred to as XA103, which is expected to occur in the late 2020s.
"We are embracing digital transformation with NGAP and changing the customer experience through the entire development process in order to rapidly and efficiently deliver these advanced adaptive engines," said Jill Albertelli, president of Pratt & Whitney's Military Engines business. "This technology is critical to maintaining air superiority, which is why Pratt & Whitney has made significant investments in research and development and advanced manufacturing. Continued government funding for sixth-generation propulsion development must remain a high priority to support critical platform milestones and warfighter readiness."
