Development work is progressing on the sixth-generation NGAD fighter jet and its associated collaborative combat aircraft (aka loyal wingman drones). The platform is expected to come into US Air Force service around 2030 (the separate Navy F/A-XX fighter jet is likely to follow a few years later). But will the United States export the NGAD fighter or will it keep it for itself? Just as there are reasons the F-22 Raptor was never exported, there are also reasons why NGAD might not be.
