Speaking from the Oval Office, President Donald Trump announced Boeing will build the F-47, the Air Force’s Next-Generation Air Dominance fighter. The decision revives the NGAD program, which had been paused for a review last spring. Air Force leaders say the new fighter will be faster, more maneuverable, and stealthier than anything else in the skies, and able to penetrate contested airspace and fly with multiple autonomous Collaborative Combat Aircraft drones. #AirForce #USAF #Airman #SpaceForce #Guardian
