ROME — The under-development GCAP fighter and the newly launched American F-47 can be cogs in an integrated allied system of fighters and not competitors, a European official has said.“The F-47 will be principally a U.S. fighter and not a competitor to the GCAP,” said Italian Air Force Gen. Giandomenico Taricco, who is working on the Anglo-Japanese-Italian GCAP计划。“我们想要的是让GCAP与F-47互操作，以使其在整合系统中使它们有两个要素。”塔里科（Taricco decade.That would give it a head start on the GCAP plane, which is not expected to be delivered until 2035.Trump reportedly discussed the F-47 with Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba last month.“(Trump) said the United States has such great fighter jets and asked Ishiba if he would like to take a look at them,” wrote Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun, quoting unnamed sources.Japan joined GCAP to be able to co-own the technology on board the plane, something it would be less able to do with an equivalent U.S. jet.But there are growing reports Japan is unhappy with the time needed to develop the GCAP as neighbor China threatens its airspace with advanced fighters such as the planned sixth generation J-50.Last month Reuters reported Japan was dubious GCAP would achieve its planned 2035 in-service date and was considering ordering more F-35s as a gap Filler.taricco告诉国防新闻，意大利和英国分享了日本对保持GCAP的紧迫感，甚至缩短了日程安排。“日本人非常有动力地加速该计划，并且像我们一样正确地加速了该计划。我们都在施加紧迫性，每个人都在施加压力，”他补充说。
