Boeing has been awarded a significant $20 billion contract to develop the US Air Force's sixth-generation stealth fighter, designated the F-47. This fighter is integral to the Air Force's highly secretive Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) initiative, which aims to replace the aging F-22 Raptor. The F-47 will operate in conjunction with Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) for enhanced battlefield capabilities. The competition included Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman, with Northrop Grumman bowing out earlier this year, intensifying the rivalry between Boeing and Lockheed Martin in stealth technology.
Boeing will develop the US Air Force's sixth-generation stealth fighter, designated the F-47, as part of the Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) program.
The F-47 fighter, a nod to the P-47 and the 47th president, will equip the Air Force alongside autonomous drone wingmen.
