U.S. President Donald Trump awarded Boeing on Friday the contract to build the U.S. Air Force's most sophisticated fighter jet yet, dubbed the F-47, handing the company a much-needed win, APA reports citing Reuters.
The Next Generation Air Dominance program will replace Lockheed Martin's F-22 Raptor with a crewed aircraft built to enter combat alongside drones.
Trump, the 47th president, announced the new jet's name, the F-47.
"We've given an order for a lot. We can't tell you the price," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
"Our allies are calling constantly," Trump added, saying foreign sales could be an option. "They want to buy them also."
