In a move of pure dominance, President Donald Trump announced that the United States Air Force will produce the world’s first sixth-generation fighter jet, known as the F-47.
“I’m thrilled to announce that, at my direction, the United States Air Force is moving forward with the world’s first sixth-generation fighter jet,” Trump told the press on Friday from the Oval Office, accompanied by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
“Nothing in the world comes even close to it, and it’ll be known as the F-47,” Trump continued. “The F-47 will be the most advanced, most capable, most lethal aircraft ever built,” Trump explained, adding that an experimental version of the plane has secretly been flying for almost five years.
“We’re confident that it massively overpowers the capabilities of any other nation,” he said. “The F-47 is equipped with state-of-the-art stealth technologies — virtually unseeable and unprecedented power.”
This is exactly how taxpayer dollars should be prioritized—cutting-edge defense tech to maintain air superiority while bureaucrats waste billions on drag queen ice shows and DEI operatives in Serbia.
The F-47 program secures American skies, unlike the $1.5 million dumped into…

“America’s enemies will never see it coming. Hopefully we won’t have to use it for that purpose, but you have to have it. And if it ever happens, they won’t know what the hell hit them,” Trump declared, noting that the new fleet will be built and “in the air” during his administration over the “next couple of years.”
Hegseth spoke after Trump, declared that this is a “big day for our war fighters.”
“This is a big day for our country, a big day in the world,” he said. “And Mr. President, because of your leadership, your clarity, we are going to, America is going to have [generations] in the future of air dominance because of this sixth-generation fighter.”
Hegseth added that the new fighter jet “sends a very direct, clear message to our allies that we’re not going anywhere, and to our enemies that we can, we will be able to project power around the globe unimpeded for generations to come.”
