Boeing Secures $50 Billion Contract for F-47 Fighter Jet Development

The F-47, a sixth-generation stealth fighter, is set to replace the F-22 and bolster U.S. air superiority as China tests its J-36 next-generation aircraft.

President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced Boeing's selection to develop the F-47, the U.S. Air Force's Next Generation Air Dominance fighter jet.
The $50 billion contract marks a significant shift in the defense industry, ending Lockheed Martin's decades-long dominance in stealth fighter development.
The F-47 is designed with advanced stealth, high speed, and drone coordination capabilities, aiming to maintain U.S. air superiority against global competitors like China.
China's J-36 fighter jet has conducted its third test flight, underscoring the intensifying competition in next-generation airpower.
The U.S. Navy is poised to announce its contractor for the F/A-XX carrier-based stealth fighter program, further shaping the future of military air combat capabilities.
