The United States is considering developing the F-55, a twin-engine warplane seen as an upgrade and advancement over existing models. Simultaneously, an enhanced version of the F-22, called F-22 Super, is being planned. President Trump discussed these developments amidst business meetings, highlighting their strategic importance and future impact.

The United States is poised to enhance its aerial combat prowess with the potential development of a new twin-engine warplane, the F-55, and an upgrade to the F-22 Raptor dubbed the F-22 Super, President Donald Trump announced.
In discussions with business leaders in Doha, Trump indicated that the F-55 would serve both as an advancement of the Lockheed Martin F-35 and as a distinct, separate development. Additionally, Trump highlighted the role of Boeing's recently awarded F-47 project.
