Boeing Wins $20B Navy Fighter Jet Contract
Boeing has secured a $20 billion contract from the Pentagon to develop the U.S. Navy's next-generation fighter jet, the F/A-XX. This sixth-generation aircraft is intended to replace the Super Hornet fleet and will complement the F-35. It will have advanced sensors, lethality, and range, and can integrate with both manned and unmanned capabilities. The contract follows years of competition and comes after months of delays due to industry strain and political squabbles.94 sourcesSee all sources
