Yeah, Roper was the one who claimed that the Air Force already flown an NGAD demonstrator aircraft, so at the very least, a demonstrator concept was already out prior to Boeing winning the contract. It should be obvious that the demonstrator was flown to "demonstrate" how the NGAD works, and then from there, the competing military defense companies worked their own vision and version of said demonstrator, with Boeing being deemed satisfactory enough for the Air Force that they won the contract.
