Trump Says Boeing Will Build a New Fighter Jet to Celebrate His Presidency: the "F-47"
Briefly

During a recent press conference, President Trump revealed plans for the United States Air Force's new sixth-generation fighter jet, the F-47, which he claimed was named by 'the generals.' Trump boasted about its supposed unrivaled capabilities and advanced stealth technology. However, analysts are skeptical about the true nature of its technology, suggesting it may only be invisible to traditional radar rather than being literally unseeable. The Air Force may also collaborate with Anduril, a defense contractor known for tech innovations.
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. Nothing in the world comes even close to it, and it'll be called the 'F-47,' the generals picked that title.
It is virtually unseeable. It's unclear what he means by that, since there's little to suggest that our military or any other has the capability to create invisible planes.
The new F-47... is equipped with technology that makes it 'invisible' to traditional radar, which was invented in the 1970s for Lockheed's F-117 Nighthawk stealth fighter.
For all the accolades from the president, who called the forthcoming fighter jet 'the most advanced, most capable, most lethal aircraft ever built,' many are skeptical about its actual capabilities.
