The term “fifth generation”, and really the entire generational context, has become more of a marketing term with a lack of a universal definition, and more importantly, with a lack of specificity and the attendant requirements associated with whatever capability would be needed. That being said, sir, to your question, if we were to define fifth generation as outlined in the high-level mandatory capabilities, then yes, sir, I would say we are fifth generation, as we believe we would meet those high-level mandatory capabilities.
The other part of your question, sir, was around stealth characteristics. There is often a misnomer that the F-18 Super Hornet lacks stealth. I can stand here today and share with you that this is not true. From the outset it has designed-in stealth in an overall approach that the navy outlined to ensure that this multi-role aircraft is highly survivable today and in the future with current threats and future threats. Certainly this forum would not preclude any detailed discussion on this characteristic, but yes, sir, to your question, there is designed-in stealth.
