Boeing scored a contract to build the Pentagon’s next-generation jet fighter, beating out rival Lockheed Martin. The deal has big implications for Boeing’s bottom line, its beleaguered defense unit and the jet maker’s strained relationship with the Trump administration.

The F-47 fighter jet contract is a boost for Boeing, which has faced slumps in both military and civilian sales.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump announced Friday that Boeing will build the Air Force’s future fighter jet, which the Pentagon says will have stealth and penetration capabilities that far exceed those of its current fleet and is essential in a potential conflict with China.
