Boeing has won a contract to develop the F-47 next-generation combat aircraft for the U.S. Air Force that will spearhead future air wars and throw a lifeline to the company's struggling military aviation business.
The Air Force also revealed that the decision comes after a series of classified X-planes jointly developed with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency have flown hundreds of hours, maturing new technologies that improve the stealth, range and autonomous capabilities of the new aircraft. The Air Force previously acknowledged the existence of only one technology demonstrator for the NGAD aircraft, which flew before September 2020.
