Boeing NGAD by FlyGuy369

Currently trying to use this to make a good model of it. Most notable thing I can guess so far (based on planform alignment and this image) is the atleast two of the three major angles present are a wing sweep of 45 degrees and a chine sweep of 12.5. I haven't found a good reference for the trailing edge areas to derive the third, but from what I could snag from the Northrop commercials, it may be around 15 degrees forward, depending on span location respectively.

You could use the planform of MRF-24X as a baseline...

Intakes will not be on the upper surface. That cockpit looks looks far too big relative to the aircraft size. That looks like a F-35 sized aircraft yet NGAD will have twice the thrust of the F-35.

So both of these images come from Boeing filed patents, not to mention, they have given many renderings of this specific aircraft on atleast 5 separate occasions (patents include) all of which show top mounted intakes. In the one that speaks to deployable canards above the intakes, it makes specific mention of pressurized air ports to aide in keeping air flow to the intakes during low speed operations.

I appreciate you.

Thank you, will do, but I'll still post what I find news wise or other info as it comes by so long as you all don't mind.
