Boeing to develop new F-47 fighter for US for $20 billion
The US Department of Defense has selected Boeing to develop the revolutionary F-47 fighter as part of the Next Generation Air Dominance program. This cutting-edge sixth-generation aircraft will replace the legendary F-22 Raptor and set new standards for aerial combat.
Technological breakthrough in military aviation
Boeing demonstrates a powerful technological breakthrough in military aviation. The American aerospace giant achieved a strategically important victory over Lockheed Martin in the tender for developing the sixth-generation F-47 fighter, securing a contract worth over 20 billion dollars.
The new F-47 represents a revolutionary combat platform that combines advanced technological solutions. The fighter will be equipped with an integrated unmanned aerial vehicle control system, which will significantly expand its combat capabilities. Special attention is paid to stealth technologies and cutting-edge sensors that will ensure superiority in the airspace of the future.
Boeing engineers have optimized the F-47’s cost to the level of the most expensive F-35 modifications while significantly exceeding its technical characteristics. The project envisions mass production not only for US needs but also for international partners, with potential contract volumes in hundreds of billions of dollars.
In parallel, the company continues modernizing the F-15AE and producing T-7 training aircraft, further strengthening Boeing’s position as a key supplier of advanced military aviation for the US armed forces and their allies.
Boeing’s victory in the F-47 development competition marks a new era in US military aviation development. This project will not only strengthen the country’s defense capabilities but will also influence the future of aerial combat worldwide.
