President Donald Trump has officially announced that Boeing has landed the contract to build the U.S. Air Force’s next-gen fighter jet, the F-47. This new aircraft, considered a sixth-generation fighter, is touted as the most advanced jet ever made.
Trump expressed his excitement at the White House, saying, “Nothing in the world comes close to it.” He revealed that an experimental version of the F-47 had been secretly developed and tested for the last five years. “Our enemies won’t see it coming,” he added.
The F-47 will feature cutting-edge tech like advanced stealth capabilities, AI systems, and autonomous command. It can reach supersonic speeds without afterburners, making it stealthier and more efficient in air combat. The jet will also have high-precision weapons, hypersonic missiles, and next-gen electronic warfare systems.
This project builds on Boeing’s previous successes with fighter jets like the F-15EX and F/A-18 Super Hornet. The F-47 is designed to boost U.S. air superiority, with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth saying it will act as a strong deterrent to adversaries.
Boeing’s CEO, Steve Parker, assured that the company has made major investments to get ready for this project. The Air Force plans to integrate the F-47 with robotic aircraft from companies like Anduril Industries and General Atomics to enhance its capabilities.
Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David Allvin emphasized the aircraft’s role in maintaining global stability. “This aircraft symbolizes peace through strength,” he said. The F-47 is set to keep the U.S. military at the forefront of global air combat.
