India’s future sixth-gen fighter uses morphing wings, a tailless blended wing-body design, and shape memory alloys for real-time wing shaping.
India is taking flight into the future of air combat with a tailless sixth-generation fighter concept that features real-time morphing wings and advanced stealth tech.
The Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) has launched preliminary research on the futuristic platform, putting innovation and cutting-edge aerodynamics at the center of its design strategy.
Blended wing-body and full flying-wing layouts form the core of the fighter, aiming to reduce radar signature, improve aerodynamics, and free internal space for fuel, sensors, and armaments.
