Right now, even before the Americans can finalize the design of their NGAD fighter, the engines that most likely will power it are already maturing:
1. P&W has already tested a 3-stage derivative of its F135 engine way back in 2017, which is going to be its XA101;
2. GE has just completed ground testing its first XA100 engine.
Both these engines are designed for 6th gen fighters.
