BOEING WINS US NAVY F/A-XX, GIVING IT BOTH NEXT-GENERATION US FIGHTERS...
The US Navy has selected Boeing to develop the F/A-XX, its sixth-generation carrier-based strike fighter, giving the company both of the US military’s next-generation crewed fighter programs.
SCOTT: A budget that jumps from pocket change to real money means the Navy fighter is not dead — it means someone on the Hill got scared of a capability gap. Watch the engine and the carrier fit, not the artist’s rendering.
