5th Generation Fighters & Bombers Challenge 🛩️

Welcome to the 5th Gen Fighter & Bomber Challenge!

This time, we're pushing the limits of stealth, agility, and futuristic tech.

Design and build a 5th-generation aircraft — either a fighter or a bomber — that embodies next-gen features: stealth profiles, internal weapon bays, supermaneuverability, advanced cockpits, or anything that screams "future of air combat."

Bring your A-game. Whether it’s inspired by real-world jets like the F-22, Su-57, B-21, or something purely fictional, it’s time to dominate the skies.
