The Air Force has placed an initial order for 185 units, with each projected to cost around $300 million. The program’s total cost, including development, is estimated at $75.5 billion.Also revealed were specs for the collaborative combat aircraft (CCAs), drones designed to operate alongside the F-47. More than 1,000 units are planned, with a range of about 700 miles and limited stealth features. Operational timelines suggest test flights could occur between 2025 and 2029, with full deployment expected in the early 2030s.
