most advanced, more leathal aircarft ever build.
already flying for 5 years.

remember, this is level 6. not level 5. its level 6.

you heard it here first.

All in Lockheed Martin?

Within a few months you should see the same clone by CCP.

can fly or not? CCP sudah ada dua 6th gen prototypes that can fly

more like dickhead martin. this is fake.

welp, 2005 movie plane still bait people

how many trillions going to spend on this

F/A-37 Talon ?

EDI lol

i still remember watching Stealth in cinema, midvalley or the mines i can't remember lol

No need

This one is indeed assembled in China

Lol

Hollywood

its called F-47 for trump is 47th pasiden

US saw Chinese already flying their 6th gen plane, quickly come out with this and said already flying for 5 yrs

BA is the one that ran, not LMT.

Made in China?

It’s been well known US have been developing the NGAD 6th gen fighter

This is nothing new

Just Trump officially announcing it’s existence

The NGAD originated from Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) studies initiated in 2014 to explore concepts for air superiority systems of the 2030s for the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy. DARPA completed its Air Dominance Initiative study in March 2014 and based on the results, the Department of Defense acquisition chief Frank Kendall launched the Aerospace Innovation Initiative (AII) in 2015 to develop X-plane prototypes to demonstrate technology for future fighter aircraft.[8] In 2016, the USAF followed up the DARPA studies with the Air Superiority 2030 (AS 2030) flight plan, but while the plan stated the need for a family of systems, it was still focused on a specific member of the family called the Penetrating Counter-Air (PCA).[9][10] In 2018, AS 2030 evolved into the NGAD and expanded its focus from a single addition towards a suite of capabilities and was envisioned to be a "family of systems".[11]
In September 2020 the USAF announced that they had already flown a full-scale flight demonstrator and broken records with it.[12]
The NGAD program's overarching aim is to develop key technologies that would provide the Air Force with air dominance. These technologies revolve around several areas such as propulsion, stealth, advanced weapons,[13] digital design (CAD-based engineering),[14][15] and thermal management of the aircraft signature.[16] The program changes traditional Air Force acquisition[17] by the separation of design, production, and support functions in the development process with a $9 billion budget through 2025.[16][18] More frequent industry competitions and simulations in the design and manufacturing process are characteristic of the development program.[19]
While NGAD increased its scope from a single platform to a "family of systems", a crewed fighter aircraft is the centerpiece of the program. It will be supported by a variety of complementing "manned, unmanned, optionally manned, cyber, electronic" systems, which are likely to be uncrewed collaborative combat aircraft (CCA) to carry extra munitions and perform other missions.[20][4] In particular, NGAD aims to develop a system that addresses the operation needs of the Indo-Pacific theater of operations, where current USAF fighters lack sufficient range and payload. USAF commanders have noted that there may be two variants of NGAD: one with long range and payload for the Indo-Pacific and one more oriented to the relatively short ranges between possible battle areas in Europe.[20] The fighter is expected to leverage adaptive cycle engines being developed under the Next Generation Adaptive Propulsion (NGAP) program, with the General Electric XA102 and Pratt & Whitney XA103 competing for the propulsion system.[21]
The crewed fighter component of the NGAD was briefly envisioned to follow the rapid development and procurement cycles of the "Century Series" fighter aircraft of the 1950s and 1960s; dubbed "Digital Century Series" by Assistant Secretary of the Air Force (SAF/AQ) Will Roper, fighter designs would be continually iterated to enable the rapid insertion of new technology and procured in small batches. In May 2021, chief of staff of the USAF General Brown stated that the NGAD will start replacing the F-22 once it is operational in sufficient quantity, with the fielding goal in the 2030s.[22] The F-22 has also been used to test NGAD technology and some advances are expected to be applied to the F-22 as well.[23] The complexity and sophistication of modern aircraft design, however, eventually caused the "Digital Century Series" to be abandoned in favor of a more traditional development and procurement approach.
In June 2022, the USAF determined that critical technologies were ready to support the program for Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD). According to Roper, the first full-scale technology demonstrator prototype of the NGAD crewed fighter aircraft from the AII X-plane program had been flown in 2020, and by 2023, three separate prototypes had flown.[24][25] The formal solicitation was announced in May 2023, with the goal of source selection in 2024.[26][27][28]
On 27 July 2023, Kathy Warden, CEO and President of Northrop Grumman, confirmed that the company notified the U.S. Air Force that it would not bid as a prime contractor for the program, leaving Boeing and Lockheed Martin as the probable two remaining contenders for the main manned fighter component of the program.[29]
As reported by Breaking Defense,[30] In July 2024, Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall announced that the Air Force was "taking a pause" on the crewed component of the NGAD program. “With the platform itself, we’re taking a pause. With the rest of the elements of the air dominance family of systems, we’re moving forward as fast as we can.” Kendall also expressed confidence that the Air Force was "still going to do a sixth-generation crewed aircraft."
Air Force veterans and industry experts have expressed concern with the idea that the B-21 Raider would be able to penetrate a hostile IADS without support from a crewed 6th-gen NGAD fighter. In 'Episode 196 – What's Up With NGAD?' on The Aerospace Advantage podcast by the Mitchell Institute, John 'JV' Venable, Air Force veteran and Senior Resident Fellow at the Mitchell Institute, argued "this idea that you don't need someone going in and sweeping out the threat in front of a B 21 is absolutely catastrophic."[31]
On September 4, 2024, Air Force Vice Chief of Staff Gen. James Slife reiterated the Air Force's decision to pause the PCA component of the NGAD program, stating that they were "starting at the beginning" with the requirements, according to reporting by The Warzone.[32] "I know what the mission that we have to get done is, but I don’t know that we need to build an airplane to do the mission," said Gen. Slife, referencing the NGAD's status as a system of systems rather than a single crewed fighter.
Selection
edit
In March 2025, Boeing was awarded a contract to build the NGAD in a contract worth more than $20 billion. During the announcement of the contract, its designation of F-47 was also revealed.[33][34]

Since when Boeing is made in China

contract awarded to Boeing

Funny they had to name it F-47 so that Trump would like and approve it

The parts bought from Taobao?

Flying for 5 years means gone case already. 5 years ago, Russian-Ukraine drone wars haven't started, chatgpt AI haven't started. All the base design built on ancient concepts of warfare.

Boeing?

Habis

With that safety record, it's funny they still trust boeing to deliver.

what is this shit?
until i see ufo style aircraft, we r way behind the galactic police.

Boeing got so many issues also awarded to them. Wow.

Give contract to save the company 😁

Trump and Elon keep talking about mismanagement and shutting down all sorts of government departments but the real wastage are in the arms manufacturers.

Nobody dare to touch them as they have very powerful lobby!

Lockheed martin design nicer, boeing planes manyak issues, crash lettew

Orange-faced Clown: Why can't an Boeing paint the plane in gold? Gold is a good conductor, absorb all radars. Let's YMCA. Felon-47.

China copycat J-36 is test flying again

Boeing awarded so that Lockheed Martin got competitor.

F-'47' to coincide with Trump's '47'th president

Or F-'47' to 'one-up' China's J-'36'.

I initially thought NGAD already 'cancelled' because they couldn't justify the costs for the capabilities.

Maybe China served as a good motivator to spend more budget for NGAD aircrafts.

china J36 and J50 already flown and seen in the net
US still hollywood stage lol

I more curious about the Shenyang J-50 tactical stealth fighter with its fully adjustable tail stealth/maneuver mode

so going to export the job to bharat, future of F-47 going to be overbudget and crash

the issue is the price tag . us 300 mils/ plane is unaffordable even for the US .

Need to shut down gov how many days to have enough budget to build one prototype 🤔

have they release any full official photos yet?

if they had it 5 years ago and until now still rolling out production... oh well... isn't it obvious?

china sudah ada, us dah lambat

if our tanks were called Pendekar Klang, our enemies would fear us and surrender immediately.

i guess j47 will be announced shortly

Sohai la. Fake pic
