Why Skunk Works’ Vectis Stealth Drone Could Fill The F-47’s Biggest Gap

The upcoming Boeing F-47 6th-generation fighter jet is just the manned component of the Air Force’s Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAG) program. The other part is the development of advanced loyal wingmen drones called Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA). Unlike previous-generation fighter jets, the F-47 is not being designed as a stand-alone fighter jet, but as a node or command center of a strike package that will include CCAs and other off-board platforms.
