BREAKING: F-47 Will Hit Skies ‘Faster Than Normal,’ Says Boeing Exec
8/29/2025

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The first flight of the Air Force’s sixth-generation F-47 fighter will occur sooner than many would expect, the head of Boeing’s Phantom Works division said Aug. 29.

Boeing won the contract to develop the F-47 for the Air Force’s Next Generation Air Dominance program in March. Gen. David Allvin, the service’s chief of staff, posted a graphic on the social media platform X in May stating the aircraft would be operational sometime within the 2025-2029 timeframe.

Colin Miller, vice president and general manager at Boeing Phantom Works, said people will “be surprised by how fast you see [the F-47] flying.”

While declining to provide specifics due to the classified nature of the program, “I think it'll happen faster than normal,” Miller said during a fireside chat at the National Defense Industrial Association’s Emerging Technologies for Defense Conference and Exhibition.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
