Most of the details of the plan are confidential, rarely disclosed details, but should progress more smoothly, Northrop recently quietly reached a milepost, end of the preliminary design review.<br /> <br /> <strong>Japan outlook for future technology</strong><br />More interesting work has taken place in Japan, where they are struggling to cope with China's fifth generation fighter aircraft and other advanced platforms in the region.<br /> <br /> <img src="http://www.bestchinanews.com/1ydzximg/0GdtuKLk8d" /><br /> <br /> "Earlier, F-2's programs were expensive, and they didn't get very good airplanes, but they did help technology innovation in the business sector," says Avascent, a market analyst at AaronLin.<br /> <br /> "The government has recognized the commercial value of the project and is now hoping that ATD-X (once X-2 is handed over to the government as MHI) serves as the fifth generation of technology platforms". The 2018 milestone is to determine whether Japan will acquire its fifth generation fighter through full domestic development, joint development with foreign partners or foreign "off the shelf" platforms.<br /> <br /> Of course, Japan's sixth generation fighter is another independent project, and is still in the conceptual stage. The sixth generation plan will draw some lessons from the fifth generation program, but, like other countries, Japan is still trying to figure out what defines the details of a sixth generation fighter.<br /> In accordance with Japan's defense ministry 2010 project document, the concept of the sixth generation aircraft requires all the technology until about 2030-2050 years.<br /> <br /> <br /> <section><section><section><b><span style="font-size: large;">The five largest projects in the field are listed below :</span></b><br /> </section></section></section><section><section><section><strong>US Air force long-range strike bomber<br /> </strong></section></section></section><img src="http://www.bestchinanews.com/1ydzximg/0GdtuKKT4J" /><br /> <br /> Northrop Grumman won the October 2015 B-21 development contract.<br /> The company beat Boeing, Lockheed martin.<br /> Planned investment (2011 through 2027): $45 billion 300 million<br /> Number of deliveries (2011 through 2027): 6<br /><br /> <section><section><section><strong>Japan Air Force future multi purpose fighter aircraft<br /> </strong></section></section></section><img src="http://www.bestchinanews.com/1ydzximg/0GdtuK7RHX" /><br /> <br /> By 2030s, up to 100 new aircraft will be launched into the Japanese air force self defense force, and the Japanese defense ministry is expected to sign the contract in the summer of 2018.<br /> Planned investment (2011 through 2027): $17 billion 900 million<br /> Planned inputs (2011 through 2027): 42<br /> <br /> <section><section><section><strong>South Korean Air Force KF-X fighter<br /> </strong></section></section></section><img src="http://www.bestchinanews.com/1ydzximg/0GdtuKuUva" /><br /> <br /> The plan aims to start replacing 2020 of the existing fleet, but delays have occurred.
