A sixth-generation fighter is a conceptualized class of jet fighter aircraft design more advanced than the fifth-generation jet fighters that are currently in service and development. Several countries have announced the development of a national sixth-generation aircraft program while others have joined collaborative multinational projects (such as the Global Combat Air Programme and the FCAS) in order to spread development and procurement costs. The first sixth-generation fighters are expected to enter service in the 2030s.
