Lockheed Martin REVEALED a FERRARI version of the F-35 Fighter to Beat F-47!Welcome back to Skyward Fighter! Today, we’re diving into one of the most unexpected plot twists in modern defense aviation. Lockheed Martin, the titan behind the F-35 Lightning II, recently faced a massive setback when Boeing snatched the prestigious NGAD contract right from under them. But instead of retreating, Lockheed is launching a bold counterstrike. They’ve announced a revolutionary plan: retrofitting their already successful F-35 fighter with sixth-generation technologies—think better stealth, smarter AI, longer range, and all at half the cost of Boeing’s next-gen jet. In short, they’re turning the Lightning II into a lean, mean, sixth-gen hybrid machine. This move came hot on the heels of President Donald Trump’s announcement naming Boeing as the lead for the F-47—a manned sixth-generation fighter. A move that stunned the defense world, especially since Lockheed had quietly exited the Navy’s F/A-XX program not long before.
