n the same day that the Chief of Naval Operations answered The War Zone's questions about the future of the F/A-XX sixth-generation naval fighter program, stating a final selection between the offerings from Boeing and Northrop Grumman will be coming in August, the latter of the two firms has released a new teaser video. Previously, we only had one rendering of Northrop’s notional F/A-XX concept. Now we have a more detailed panning video and a new head-on perspective view.

The video clip, posted on Northrop Grumman’s X account on April 20, 2026, as seen below, states: “We’re bringing tomorrow’s horizon into focus, faster, stronger, and ready when the warfighter needs it.” The 15-second video pans around the aircraft that is aboard a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier and shows us greater detail of the concept.

The newly released video gives us a much better look at Northrop Grumman's F/A-XX concept than the image they released in January 2026.
