Boeing will build Air Force’s future fighter jet — the F-47

Boeing will build the Air Force’s future fighter jet. Joined by his defense secretary and top Air Force officials, the president announced the military’s next generation fighter jet. He said “the F-47 will be the most advanced, most capable, most lethal aircraft ever built.” The Pentagon says the new jet fleet will have stealth and penetration capabilities that far exceed its current fleet. Boeing’s initial contract to proceed with production is worth an estimated 20 billion dollars.
