Boeing Secures $20 Billion Contract for F-47 Sixth-Generation Fighter Jet

President Trump announces the advanced stealth aircraft as a key initiative to counter China's growing military capabilities in the Pacific.

The F-47 is part of the U.S. Air Force's Next Generation Air Dominance program, designed to maintain air superiority in the Pacific region.
Equipped with advanced stealth, propulsion, and AI technologies, the F-47 is expected to achieve Mach 2 speeds and operate with enhanced battlefield capabilities.
The $20 billion contract awarded to Boeing marks a significant step toward production, with the aircraft anticipated to begin service by the end of the decade.
Digitally designed and reportedly tested in secret since 2020, the F-47 represents a shift toward rapid prototyping and modernized defense strategies.
Future sales to allied nations, including Britain, Australia, and Japan, are being considered as part of its strategic and economic significance.
