US Air Force F-47

The Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP), a joint UK-Italy-Japan effort, aims to deliver a sixth-generation fighter by 2035 but faces delays, prompting Japan to consider more Lockheed Martin F-35s.

The United States Air Force (USAF) operates the largest and most technologically advanced air fleet globally, with 5,004 active aircraft in 2025.

Boeing has secured the contract for the F-47, U.S. Air Force’s Next-Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) fighter jet.
