A senior US Air Force official recently revealed that the complete production line for the sixth-generation stealth fighter F-47 is being developed at an accelerated pace, and the aircraft's first flight target is still set for 2028. The main contractor, Boeing, has invested nearly 2 billion US dollars to expand the F-47 production plant, and recently won the US Navy shipborne sixth-generation aircraft project. Recently, Brigadier General Timothy Helfrich, the US Air Force fighter and advanced aircraft procurement executive, said during an online discussion hosted by the Air Force and Space Force Association that the work to establish a complete production line for the sixth-generation fighter F-47 is getting closer. The main contractor, Boeing, will expand more than 1 million square feet of facilities in St. Louis in 2023, including an 880,000 square foot aircraft assembly building, hangars, radar cross-section testing facilities, etc., and the entire project is scheduled to be completed in 2030. Currently, the F-47 project is still progressing according to an aggressive schedule. The first flight target is still set for 2028, while mass-produced fighter jets are scheduled to enter combat service in the early 2030s.
