The US Air Force (USAF) has stunned the aerospace world by secretly building and flying the first ever sixth-generation jet fighter prototype. The news was revealed by Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics Dr Will Roper to highly-respected “Defense News” air warfare reporter Valerie Insinna in an exclusive interview on Tuesday. “We’ve already built and flown a full-scale flight demonstrator in the real world, and we broke records doing it,” he told Insinna. “We are ready to go and build the next-generation aircraft in a way that has never happened before.”
