After delays, the Pentagon will choose the company that will build the F/A-XX stealth fighter jet, intended for the U.S. Navy. Boeing and Northrop Grumman are competing for the contract, considering that the new aircraft will replace the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet. The F/A-XX is expected to have advanced capabilities, being crucial in confronting China's ambitions in the aviation sector. Recent delays were caused by funding disputes and concerns related to the contractors' production capacity.
