The responsibility of developing the most advanced military aircraft in the world rests on a company that has become, in recent years, synonymous with plane problems: Boeing.
Despite recent issues — like crashes, mechanical failures, and door plugs blowing out mid-flight — senators are expressing confidence that Boeing can develop the most advanced aircraft in existence.
Last month, President Donald Trump revealed Boeing as the winner of a $20 billion contract to build America’s next generation fighter jet. During a ceremony in the Oval Office, Trump said the “F-47 will be the most advanced, most capable, most lethal aircraft ever built.”
