So i thought this would be a fun discussion for us aircraft nerds out there.

If the superplanes of Ace Combat were real, how do you think they'd be classified in relation to todays classification of fighter jets by generations. For example, in real life, a plane like the the F-16 is a 4th generation fighter while the F-22 is a 5th generation fighter.

So to the point, I'd say planes like the X-02 Wyvern and XFA-27 would be 5th gen, since they don't really have any revolutionary new technologies, while planes like the Falken and Nosferatu would be 6th gen since there weapon systems and other stuff like COFFIN are nothing like what we have now.

So what does every one else think?
