Pentagon ‘Committed’ to Navy’s New Stealth F/A-XX Warplane

The Pentagon’s leadership is now supportive of the Navy’s next-generation stealth fighter replacing the service’s aging F/A-18 Super Hornet, after previously pushing back against the new program.

In a statement to Bloomberg News, the Defense Department said it’s “committed to the Navy’s F/A-XX, ensuring the sixth-generation, carrier-based aircraft is positioned to deliver unmatched capability.”
