Boeing Secures $20 Billion Contract for U.S. Air Force's Sixth-Generation F-47 Fighter Jet

President Trump announces the F-47, a groundbreaking aircraft designed to replace the F-22 and fly alongside drones, as part of the Next Generation Air Dominance program.

The F-47, developed by Boeing, will replace the F-22 Raptor and serve as the centerpiece of the Air Force's Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) program.
Equipped with advanced stealth technology, unprecedented power, and the ability to operate alongside drones, the F-47 aims to ensure U.S. air superiority against adversaries like China and Russia.
An experimental version of the F-47 has been secretly flying for nearly five years, with production set to begin immediately and operational deployment expected during the Trump administration.
The initial contract is valued at over $20 billion, with the potential for hundreds of billions in orders over the program's multi-decade lifespan.
Lockheed Martin, Boeing's main competitor, has been excluded from sixth-generation fighter programs after losing the NGAD contract.
