Washington | US President Donald Trump on Friday (Saturday AEDT) awarded Boeing the contract to build the US Air Force’s most sophisticated fighter jet, handing the company a much-needed win.
The Next Generation Air Dominance program will replace Lockheed Martin’s F-22 Raptor with a crewed aircraft built to enter combat alongside drones. The plane’s design remains a closely held secret, but would likely include stealth, advanced sensors, and cutting-edge engines.
