Washington, March 21 (NationPress) President Donald Trump announced the introduction of a new sixth-generation fighter jet known as the F-47, which will also feature a less advanced version for allied nations. This state-of-the-art aircraft is being developed by Boeing.

During a speech from the Oval Office, President Trump stated, “The F-47 will represent the pinnacle of technological advancement, unparalleled capability, and lethal effectiveness in aviation.” He was joined by Secretary of State Pete Hegseth and top military officials.

President Trump further revealed that an experimental model of the F-47 has been covertly operational for nearly five years, asserting, “We are confident that it significantly surpasses the capabilities of other nations.”

Secretary of Defense Hegseth remarked, “With the F-15, F-16, F-18, F-22, and F-35 already in our arsenal, the addition of the F-47 sends a clear message: we remain steadfast with our allies and prepared to project our military power globally for generations.”

The President expressed optimism about the new fleet of these “remarkable aircraft” being constructed during his administration, declaring, “It's ready to go.” He noted that substantial progress has been made in production capabilities.

Trump indicated that allied nations have expressed interest in acquiring the F-47 as well, suggesting the possibility of offering a “slightly toned-down version” to them. “We aim to reduce the capabilities by about 10 percent, which seems logical, considering future alliances,” he explained.

Details regarding the cost of the aircraft remain undisclosed. “We cannot disclose the price,” Trump stated, “as it could compromise the technology and the scale of production.”

He also mentioned that the F-47 will operate alongside drones, asserting, “This aircraft can coordinate with multiple drones simultaneously, a capability unmatched by any other fighter jet.”

The initiative to develop this aircraft is dubbed “The Next Generation of Air Dominance.”

Air Force Chief of Staff General David Alvin called it a significant day for the United States Air Force, describing the F-47 as “the crown jewel in our forthcoming air dominance systems, ensuring we uphold our commitments.”
