What were the standards that differentiates a sixth generation fighter jet?
All countries developing sixth generation jets were fumbling in every nook and cranny for the specific standards. Hence, there was no clear and uniform standard.
In spite of that, these were a few criteria that must be fulfilled:
1. Usage artificial intelligent systems in combat. Combat capabilities must be on par as being piloted by top pilots.
2. Better stealth capabilities. Difficult to be detected on radar.
3. Better Situation Awareness (SA).
4. Revolutionary airborne weapons.
5. Powerful flexibility and wider combat range.
Among all the criteria, the five most crucial criteria were decided by engine performance.
