So Boeing wins the NGAD (F-47) contract.

So, Boeing going to produce the next one.

Hopefully they don't use the M-Cast anti stall software.

Guess this money will keep them a float for a while.

I wonder how many parts in it will be dependent / made in China?

Ward's channel is claiming DARPA have had a flying x version for 5 years.

I always wonder what the YF-23 could have been. Hear many claims it had superiority to the raptor in many metrics.

Boeing can’t make shit! Only good plane they made was the md…wait that was Mcdonnell Douglas. Never mind. The last good plane Boeing built was the B-17.

They did inherit a lot of brilliant McDonnell Douglas designs. Shame to see that company disappeared.

Don't forget, they also bought out Rockwell

May be the automatic unplanned erratic landings and the spontaneous ejection and the upside down landing is all part of the plan to evade being shot down.
Remember the old Sun TUZ lesson- if you have no idea what you’re doing the enemy won’t know either.

Hmmm… F-47?

Fascinating.

That's a serious kick in Lockheed's nuts right there. For all the Boeing issues, looking at 5yr stock prices, they are basically tied for gains. That's not something to be proud of if you're Lockheed.

Historically, they'll do fine as long as they don't go "too high"....

of which today, that means a LOT of different things.

Message sent.
Considering your F35 boondoggle, we’re going with Boeing.

Boeing!?!?!?

Didn't Boeing leave a giant piece of space junk attached to the space station?

Three words: Lockheed Martin SUCKS.

That'd be the Space Station version of the typical "junk drawer".
