During a major Oval Office address on Friday, President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth introduced a new sixth-generation fighter jet costing $20 billion.

“The F47 will be the most advanced, capable, and lethal aircraft ever built. We’re confident that it overpowers the capabilities of any nation,” he said before adding: “47 is a lovely number, isn’t it.”
