    http://www.airbus.com/en/newsroom/press-releases/2023-11-airbus-to-make-eurofighter-fit-for-electronic-combat "Following the recent parliamentary approval by the German budget committee, Airbus will equip 15 German Eurofighters for electronic combat - and equip them with a transmitter location and self-protection system from Saab, as well as "AARGM" anti-radar missiles from the American company Northrop Grumman. The Eurofighter EK is to be NATO-certified by 2030 and will then replace the Tornado in the SEAD (Suppression of Enemy Air Defence) role."

    https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/b-21-raider-has-flown-for-the-first-time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAWr6BC_A4w Exciting days for avgeeks, B21 with its first public flight and NGAD winding up for a public reveal sometime soon(ish)

    NG is also occupied rn with the B21 program, so they arent exactly hurting for juicy big contracts.

    Northrop just bowed out of the NGAD competition as prime contractor. https://www.aerotime.aero/articles/northrop-grumman-withdraws-ngad-program

    I agree. To me, one of the strengths of Macross is that it does keep doing things based on new characters and events, even if there are frequent callbacks and references to past shows.

    IIRC, the narrow, extended nose cone, canards and exaggerated angle of incidence wings shape the airflow to reduce the shockwaves generated by supersonic speeds.

    X-59 seen in the flesh. A very slick looking plane imo.

    Aurora Flight Sciences is working on an X-plane for DARPA that utilizes active flow control to maneuver. Doubt it'll be part of the NGAD though.

    One piece canopy, different leading edge shape, different trailing edge shape, (probably) no vertical stabilizers, looks a bit smaller too.

    Lockheed Martin posted something interesting recently.

    Zentradi revanchism mixed in w/ anti-UN separatism would be a cool turn for a mainline Macross anime. That's the kinda stuff that iirc only really gets explored in side material.

    Hopefully the next show steers away from "ancient protodevlin fold macguffin" as a plot device. Really excited to see what new VFs they'll introduce though. Might be an outlier opinion but Kawamori is still going strong in that department, the recent designs like the 262, 303, 31 are very cool machines.

    New video series by Project Aces inviting aerospace experts to comment on the fictional aircraft designs of Ace Combat, with the lead mechanical designer of the franchise Masato Kanno.

    Loved the first Death Stranding game, really excited to see what changes KJP makes to the formula, and how the story continues from the aftermath of the first game.
