what is it?

The Boeing F-47 is a planned American air superiority fighter aircraft under development by Boeing for the United States Air Force (USAF) under the Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) program. It is designed to be the first U.S. sixth-generation fighter and the successor to the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor. Air Force leaders have said they intend to buy "185-plus" F-47s, which are to have a combat radius of more than 1,000 nautical miles (1,900 km; 1,200 mi) and a top speed above Mach 2.
