LOUIS, Mo. – This week, the Department of War announced that Boeing has been awarded a $20 billion contract to develop the Navy’s Next-Generation F/A-XX Strike Fighter. Congressman Jason Smith (MO-08), Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, released the following statement applauding the award for Missouri workers and one of the state’s largest employers. Congressman Smith said, “The future of American airpower is being built right here in Missouri. Boeing is already building the Air Force’s F-47 in St. Louis, and now Missouri workers will be building the Navy’s new Strike Fighter too — cementing St. Louis as a global leader in aerospace. This contract means more jobs for Missourians, more business for the local suppliers that support Boeing, and a stronger national defense for the service members who depend on these aircraft. “An investment of this size doesn’t stay in one place. It ripples through every community it touches, and Missouri families will feel it for years to come. This is a huge win for the Show-Me State, and I will continue fighting every day to bring good-paying jobs and investment like this to Missouri.” Background: | 1 | 2026-10-01T11:23:28Z | 2026-10-01T11:25:15Z |
