The Pentagon has awarded Boeing the long-awaited contract for the US Air Force's next-generation fighter jet, known as "NGAD", US President Donald Trump announced on Friday.

The sixth-generation aircraft, which will replace the F-22 Raptor, will be named the F-47, Trump said.

It will have "the latest stealth technology [making it] virtually invisible," and will fly alongside several autonomous drone wings known as cooperative fighter jets.

"It's something that no one has ever seen before," Trump said in an Oval Office briefing with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David Allvin and Lt. Gen. Dale White, Air Force deputy assistant secretary for acquisition, technology and logistics.

"In terms of all the attributes of a fighter jet, there's never been anything even close to it, from the speed to the maneuverability to what it can carry [as a] payload. And this has been in the works for a long period of time," he said.

"America's enemies will never see it coming," he continued.

The competition for "NGAD" was between Lockheed Martin and Boeing, after Northrop Grumman announced in 2023 that it would not compete for the program as prime contractor.

Allvin said in a statement Friday that experimental versions of "NGAD" have been flying for the past five years, "flying hundreds of hours, testing cutting-edge concepts and proving that we can push the technology envelope with confidence."

Allvin said that significant experimentation and preliminary work on the F-47 will allow the service to fly the aircraft by the end of the Trump administration.
