- La fase SDD a ser completada el 2019, es decir tres años de retraso partiendo del último plan
- Costo estabilizado de un F-35A cuando la producción en full serie comience será de 89 millones por avión, 8 más que un Rhino
- Costo estabilizado de un F-35B cuando la producción en full serie comience (~2018) será de 138 millones por avión
- Costo estabilizado de un F-35C cuando la producción en full serie comience será de 117 millones por avión
- El plan era que la hora de vuelo costase el 80% de la hora en F-16, había subido a 122% en el SAR del 2010, y es 142% en el SAR del 2011.

Lockheed Martin Corp., Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Co., Fort Worth, Texas, is being awarded a $258,800,000 not-to-exceed undefinitized modification to the previously awarded F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter low rate initial production Lot 5 contract (N00019-10-C-0002), including one additional conventional take-off and landing aircraft for the Air Force, and one additional carrier variant aircraft for the Navy.
The modification includes undefinitized line items, which will be definitized as fixed-price-incentive-firm.
Work will be performed in Fort Worth, Texas (35 percent); El Segundo, Calif. (25 percent); Warton, United Kingdom (20 percent); Orlando, Fla. (10 percent); Nashua, N.H. (5 percent); and Baltimore, Md. (5 percent). Work is expected to be completed in February 2014. No funding will be obligated at time of award. Contract funds will not expire at the end of the current fiscal year.
The Naval Air Systems Command, Patuxent River, Md., is the contracting activity.
(EDITOR’S NOTE: The logic of F-35 costs remains impenetrable.
The main LRIP 5 airframe contract (i.e. without engines), awarded Dec. 27, 2012, valued the F-35A at $172 million per aircraft, while the F-35C carrier variant cost $235.8 million per aircraft. One of each model can thus reasonably be expected to cost a total of $407.8 million.
Yet the above contract, which does cover one of each model, is only worth $258.8 million, or $149 million less than expected on the basis of the Dec. 27 contract.
As clearly Lockheed cannot have reduced unit prices by that amount in less than 4 months, there is clearly some accounting change.
The F-35 cost mystery deepens.)
