Boeing won a contract March 21 to develop a next-generation combat aircraft for the U.S. Air Force that will spearhead future air wars and throw a lifeline to the company’s struggling military aviation business.

Boeing’s sixth-gen fighter is here. It's faster, stealthier, and “it’s something the likes of which no one has seen before.”

Boeing has been awarded the contract to build the U.S. Air Force's most sophisticated fighter jet yet, dubbed the F-47, beating out competition from Lockheed Martin for a program worth more than $20 billion.
