US President Donald Trump announced that Boeing has been awarded the contract to produce the US Air Force’s next-generation fighter jet, the F-47. The aircraft, classified as a sixth-generation fighter, is expected to be the most advanced fighter jet ever developed.
“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, and nothing in the world comes close to it,” Trump said at the White House.
The new aircraft, named the F-47, reportedly acknowledged Trump’s second term as the 47th president of the US.
