The U.S. Navy has officially selected Boeing to build the F/A-XX—the sixth-generation stealth fighter that will replace the F/A-18 Super Hornet and lead carrier air wings into the 2040s. Facing China’s massive A2/AD missile envelope in the Pacific, the Navy isn't just buying a new jet; it’s building a multi-layered reach ecosystem. From a tailless airframe with 25% more unrefueled combat radius to the new 250+ nautical mile AIM-424 "Malice" missile, uncrewed CCA wingmen, and the MQ-25 Stingray tanker, discover how the F/A-XX plans to solve the carrier’s greatest Pacific dilemma—and why Boeing holding both 6th-gen fighter contracts creates a massive industrial gamble.
