In March, President Donald Trump announced the Air Force’s new F-47 stealth fighter, built by Boeing.  So where is the Navy’s secret new carrier plane? Fifteen years ago, the U.S. Navy read the signals from China and secretly started development of a long-range, stealthy plane to launch from aircraft carriers.  The Navy’s newest bird is more like a fighter-bomber, with the AI smarts to lead drones into combat and enough range to scare China. Today...
