Trump Announces Boeing-Built F-47, America’s First Sixth-Generation Fighter Jet

President Donald Trump has officially unveiled the F-47, the United States’ first sixth-generation fighter jet, awarding the contract to Boeing. The announcement, made from the Oval Office, marks a significant milestone in the Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) program.

The F-47 has been in development for years, with a prototype secretly flown during Trump’s first term. It features advanced stealth technology, AI-assisted combat systems, and drone integration, setting a new standard for air superiority. Unlike previous jets, the F-47 can operate alongside autonomous drone swarms, significantly enhancing combat capabilities.

Boeing’s selection for the project follows a competitive bidding process involving major aerospace firms. The decision comes despite Trump’s previous criticism of Boeing over delays and cost overruns on projects like Air Force One and the KC-46 tanker.

The F-47 is expected to outperform the F-35, which has faced budgetary and performance challenges. With enhanced speed, stealth, and AI-powered warfare capabilities, the fighter jet aims to secure U.S. air dominance for decades.

The unveiling of the F-47 signals a new era in military aviation, reinforcing the United States’ global leadership in defense technology.
