New era of air domincance

The NGAD fighter jet, which will be designated the F-47, is set to serve as the centerpiece of future aerial warfare.

It will act as a manned control hub, coordinating with a fleet of drone aircraft capable of infiltrating advanced air defense systems.

According to Gen. David Allvin, chief of staff of the Air Force, this platform will shape the next chapter of modern aerial combat.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth emphasized that this new fleet sends a strong message to allies and adversaries alike regarding the U.S.’s continued global military presence.

Critics question the cost and need for NGAD fighter jet

Despite the excitement surrounding the F-47, the program has faced criticism.

Analysts have raised concerns about the cost, given that the F-35 program has already proven to be one of the most expensive in military history, with projected lifetime expenses exceeding $1.7 trillion.

Additionally, the Pentagon’s future B-21 Raider stealth bomber, which incorporates many of the same cutting-edge technologies, is already underway with a planned fleet of around 100 aircraft at an estimated total cost of at least $130 billion.
