Overall, from what we know so far about the F-47, this component of the NGAD ‘family of systems’ does sound like it will be primarily a Raptor successor for the high-end fight, albeit one that is superior across its capabilities and adds new functions such as drone-controller.

However, the words of the former Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition, Technology & Logistics do at least point to thinking around additional versions of the NGAD combat jet. Perhaps the most likely scenario will involve successive production batches of the same basic F-47 design, but incorporating certain changes.
