Everything I've seen says it will be very large for a fighter, something larger than an FB-111 and one source saying between the size of a B-58 Hustler and an F-108 Rapier. The F-108 size estimate is an interesting coincidence, since the NGAD range requirement is close to the range requirements of the F-108's intended B-70 escort fighter mission. The NGAD's PCA role is the driver for much of its range requirements.
