Team Gen 6 Launches to Reframe Europe’s Sixth-Generation Fighter Drive
TL;DR Summary
Airbus is reviving Europe’s sixth‑generation fighter under a German‑Spanish umbrella with 'Team Gen 6' after the NGF within FCAS effectively collapsed; eight German suppliers and Spanish partners signed a joint positioning paper to push a faster, more agile, system‑of‑systems approach, including a crewed fighter that works with uncrewed platforms; analysts see potential paths via GCAP or Saab, but warn that joint programs will struggle to break even and victory will depend on political and industrial alignment plus securing export markets for a smaller batch (roughly 250–300 jets).
