U.S. Air Force to purchase 1,763 LOCKHEED MARTIN F-35 Joint Strike Fighter jets for $245 billion
The U.S. Air Force has not changed its plan to purchase 1,763 LOCKHEED MARTIN CORP. F-35 Joint Strike Fighter jets, a U.S. Department of Defense official said. "Right now the Air Force has not changed their numbers," said Steven Enewald, director of the F-35 program for the Department of Defense at a press briefing at the Farnborough air show near London. Investors, analysts and aerospace executives have worried that U.S. budget constraints may cause the Air Force to trim its projected $245 billion U.S. purchase, which is expected to grow to about 2,400 planes by 2027, the largest warplane project ever. There's still a chance numbers could change as the budget undergoes review, Enewald said.
