• President Trump on Thursday floated the idea of a supercharged F-35 called the F-55.
• He said this aircraft would have two engines because he doesn't like single-engine planes.
• Lockheed Martin's CEO recently suggested upgrading the F-35 to become a "fifth-generation plus" jet.

President Donald Trump pitched plans for a new twin-engine version of the F-35 stealth fighter jet on Thursday.
