WASHINGTON — A deal for the tenth lot of F-35s will put the Air Force’s A model under $100 million per plane for the first time, and Lockheed Martin is on track to bring unit costs for an F-35A to $85 million in 2019, the company’s CEO said Tuesday. A comparison with past estimates shows that these figures are on track with Defense Department and Lockheed’s own expectations, and do not necessarily reflect a decrease in unit prices caused by President Trump’s public critique of the program. Trump has been hammering the joint strike fighter since December, frequently stating that the price of the aircraft is “out of control” and calling for an alternative in Boeing’s Super Hornet. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Site : https://worldofweapon.wordpress.com Twitter : https://twitter.com/worldofweapon Facebook : http://www.facebook.com/worldofweapon16 VK.com : https://vk.com/vk.worldofweapon Myspace : https://myspace.com/worldofweapon
