Trump Announces 'World's First Sixth Gen Aircraft' | Boeing Gets The 'Very Competitive' Contract

U.S. President Trump has awarded Boeing a contract to develop the F-47 fighter jet, which will replace the aging F-22 Raptor. The new aircraft will feature advanced technology and operate alongside uncrewed drones. This decision follows a competitive bidding process among top aerospace firms. The contract’s price remains undisclosed for national security reasons. The deal provides a boost to Boeing after a tough year marked by strikes and safety concerns. It also follows the temporary pause of the NGAD program due to budget constraints. The F-47 aims to ensure continued U.S. air superiority.
