1. The U.S. Air Force Is Looking To Replace the F-22
The United States Air Force (USAF) is currently working on the sixth-generation of fighter jets to replace the F-22 Raptor. It is projected to enter service in the 2030s. As of 2019, the project is known as “Penetrating Counter Air” (PCA) with the mission to continue American air superiority. The new jet would have a more efficient engine that accentuates range. It might also ditch vertical tail fins to improve stealth. A non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimated that the PCA could cost as much as $300 million per unit.
