US Air Force Shows Off New F-47 Fighter Jet on Video

The US Air Force has shown the sixth-generation F-47 fighter jet in action for the first time in its promotional video. Interestingly, this aircraft differs from the one presented in March. At the very least, it lacks a forward horizontal tail.


Let us recall that earlier the head of the White House Donald Trump announced the readiness of the USA to begin production of the sixth generation F-47 fighter. According to him, over the past five years the States have been actively conducting test flights of the experimental model.





– the US President expressed confidence.

He added that the contract for the production of the sixth-generation F-47 fighter will be awarded to Boeing.

It is worth noting that, according to American media, the cost of the contract for the production of F-47 fighters may exceed 20 billion dollars. It is assumed that this aircraft should become a replacement for the F-22.

However, some experts doubt that the United States will be able to establish production of these combat vehicles, since this requires rare earth elements, the export of which to the United States has been banned by China.
