Trump says Boeing won next-generation F-47 fighter jet contract

Donald Trump announced Friday that Boeing has been awarded the contract for the Air Force's next-generation stealth fighter plane, which the 47th US president said would be named the F-47.

"Nothing in the world comes even close to it, and it'll be known as the F-47. The generals picked a title, and it's a beautiful number, F-47," said Trump at the White House.

The announcement is a boon for Boeing, which struggled last year with a lengthy labor strike and safety problems on its civilian airliners.
