Trump pronounces subsequent era of fighter jets for the US Air Force constructed by Boeing | DW News
President Trump has announced that Boeing will build the next generation of fighter jets for the US Air Force. The new sixth-generation fighter aircraft will be called the F-47, named after Donald Trump, the 47th president of the United States.
This concept art shows what the new jet might look like. The real thing is expected to carry advanced stealth, AI – and drone technology. Boeing defeated a rival bid from Lockheed Martin, which produces the F-35 fighter jet. The announcement is welcome news for Boeing, whose reputation has taken a hit after a series of crashes and mechanical failures.
