About twenty seconds into the video you see the shots of the aircraft, looks a bit weird, not sure its the F-47 unless the decided to just scrap the canards.

could it be the tech demonstrators or X planes?
Unsure, can’t find anything official about what exactly it is, I genuinely thought it was an AI video clip at first simply due to the very strange shadows and lighting displayed on it.

Missed the opportunity for “I’m general Dave Alvin, and I was raised by two moms”
most likely not a f47, lacks canards
It has vertical stabilizers huh?

could just be that the f47 doesnt have canards and the reveal image is from a very early concept

Probably going to be a pooper like your telling me being is making this? Not lockeed don’t get your hopes up, Also a additional reason it probably is really bad is the non-existand participation of allies like the F-35 also there no pontetial buyers because a orange single handly ruined extrernal trust and the problem of that is the Development budget is allot lower.
F-22 was also fully internally developed. same with F-15, F-4, F-16, F-14, F/A-18
F-35 is the exception to the rule and look how that is going, great plane sure, but $2 trillion to go for the program
You now that’s like 3 years of military spending for the US? Like 186 F-22 thats nothing for a full on conflict
sure for the F-22, but what about F-15, F-16, and F-4 all of which were export sucess as well as good aircraft and all of which were developed by the US
Good aircraft i agree one of the reason they were so great is because of exports, But i don’t think anybody will buy F-22 and F-47 anytime soon like the F-35 contarcts have started falling because you kno why
This post was flagged by the community and is temporarily hidden.
Frankly, until we see an actual built aircraft I am not convinced the F-47 will have canards anyway.

no? they were designed for the USAF/USN first and foremost
also, no one is buying the F-22 no matter what bc its literally illegal. and F-47 may follow in its footsteps

I agree based on the lack of a silent eagle variant for the advanced eagle series I think boeing is a terrible company
Silent Eagle was always a waste of time and money.
I can give you an entire essay on why if you would like.
People forget that Boeing is just as much responsible for the YF-22 as Lockheed. And it says something that they managed to be they were the one of the finalists for the JSF program with their X-32.
Boeing Commercial =/= Boeing Defense
we are missing out on the F15-SEX right now so I disagree
Should be sad about missing out on the F-15CX, not the SE 🤣.
That would be true. If F-15EX that Boeing was producing didn’t have problems.
