The F-47 is the United States Air Force’s forthcoming sixth-generation fighter jet, recently announced by President Donald Trump. Developed by Boeing, the F-47 is set to replace the aging F-22 Raptor and aims to significantly enhance the nation’s air combat capabilities.​

Designed with cutting-edge stealth technology, the F-47 is described as being “virtually unseeable,” allowing it to operate undetected in contested environments. A notable feature of this aircraft is its integration with autonomous drone wingmen, known as collaborative combat aircraft, which will work alongside the manned fighter to execute complex missions.

The F-47 project is part of the Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) program, reflecting a significant investment in the U.S. defense industrial base to maintain air superiority. The selection of Boeing for this contract has influenced defense industry dynamics, with Boeing’s stock experiencing a rise, while competitor Lockheed Martin faced a decline following the announcement.
