The Weekly Break Out Ep. 11: What the F-47 means for the Air Force and Boeing
Aaron Mehta and Valerie Insinna break down the key things to know about the Next-Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) contract award.
Last week, President Donald Trump sat in the Oval Office and announced that Boeing had won the Next-Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) contract to produce a sixth-gen fighter, now dubbed the F-47. It was a unusual scene, and one that Breaking Defense Editor-in-Chief Aaron Mehta and industry reporter Valerie Insinna walk through in this episode of The Weekly Break Out.
Aaron and Val first discuss what we know about the F-47’s capabilities, and then discuss what the win means for Boeing’s future. Finally, Aaron runs through this week’s pair of defense conferences, AUSA Global Force in Huntsville, Ala., and the Avalon Air Show in Australia.
