Invest more than $1 billion in complex to test its new stealth fighter: The aircraft will top 2,400 km/h and can coordinate drones

The U.S. Air Force plans to invest $1.057 billion in a new specialized complex to test, maintain and train for Boeing’s future F-47 stealth fighter, a sixth-generation aircraft. The facility, called the F-47 Future Campus, will be built at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada and designed to support evaluation of combat capabilities and crew training, including integration with semi-autonomous unmanned combat drones. The program targets a fighter that can exceed 2,400 km/h and replace the F-22 Raptor over time. Gen. David Allvin said the aircraft will be able to surpass Mach 2 and has a combat radius over 1,600 km.
