Trump and Sec. Hegseth Announce the F-47, ‘The World’s First Sixth-Generation Fighter Jet’

Trump: “We’re here for a reason today that is very exciting, and I’m thrilled to announce that at my direction, the United States Air Force is moving forward with the world’s first sixth-generation fighter jet. Number six. Sixth generation. Nothing in the world comes even close to it, and it’ll be known as the F-47. The generals picked a title, and it’s a beautiful number, F-47. It’s something the likes of which nobody has seen before in terms of all of the attributes of a fighter jet. There’s never been anything even close to it, from speed to maneuverability to what it can have to payload. And this has been in the works for a long period of time. After a rigorous and thorough competition between some of America’s top aerospace companies, the Air Force is going to be awarding the contract for the next-generation air dominance platform to Boeing.”
