A Pratt & Whitney promotional video accidentally revealed what appears to be the Air Force's classified F-47 fighter jet. The February 18 footage briefly displayed a CGI rendering of a tailless stealth aircraft with aggressive delta wings and a high cockpit—features matching the rumored Next Generation Air Dominance fighter.
The timing couldn't be more suspicious. The XA-103 engine shown in the video powers the Air Force's most classified aircraft program, designed to replace the aging F-22 Raptor. Either Pratt's video editors made a billion-dollar mistake, or someone decided to show their cards early. The specs suggest this isn't your grandfather's fighter jet.
Published F-47 performance numbers read like science fiction: a combat radius exceeding 1,000 nautical miles—70% farther than the Raptor—and top speeds past Mach 2 while maintaining supersonic capability. The Air Force calls it 'Stealth ++' technology, implying even better radar invisibility than current fifth-generation fighters. More importantly, this aircraft functions as a flying command center for autonomous Loyal Wingman drones, each with 700-nautical-mile range.
