F-22 Stealth Meets F-15 Range In The F-47, The 6th-Generation Fighter The USAF Says Changes Air Combat Forever

The Boeing F-47 has, in all communications made with the public so far, been positioned as the United States Air Force’s answer to a brutal future air-war problem and how to combine the F-22’s air-dominance with the range, endurance, and networking needed for operations in the Pacific theater. Boeing won a next-generation fighter contract to build the jet in March 2025, with the aircraft intended to succeed the F-22 and anchor a broader family of advanced battle systems that could include drones, advanced sensors, and AI-enabled battle management platforms.
