- The US Air Force revealed new details about the F-47 fighter jet and its drone wingmen on May 14, 2025, highlighting its future air superiority role.

- The program implies enhanced strategic reach in the Indo-Pacific and aims to maintain US speed, agility, and lethality in air combat through the late 2020s.
