Boeing pitches leap to a still-nebulous sixth-generation, multipurpose
fighter design

Boeing is trying to chip away at Lockheed Martin's lead in the future
fighter stakes by pitching further variants of the F/A-18 Super
Hornet, followed with the promise of a leap to what some now dub a
sixth-generation combat aircraft.


If Boeing is that desperate then why don't they dust off the X32 and turn it
into a production item?
