Default Boeing displays concepts for F/A-18E/F replacement

"Boeing has started publicly marketing two
concepts for a stealthy, tailless, supercruising
strike fighter to replace its F/A-18E/F Super
Hornet after 2025.

Both twin-engine concepts, which feature
optionally-piloted cockpits, resemble a
modern-day replacement for the ill-fated A-12
Avenger. The carrier-based stealth bomber
project was cancelled in 1991 amid cost
overruns and technical problems."


So if the A-12 was the Avenger II:

Maybe they should call this one the Avenger III.


How would this compare to an improved JSF?
