From order lead time to sourcing all of subcomponents and subsystems for a new fighter (that's actually safe, unlike the hundreds of A/B model teen series), 4 years in early production seems about right. It took 10 years before we ever got working FLIR pods on the F-16C model, as they bone-yarded or sold off all the As that didn't crash. We lost 143 F-16s with 71 fatalities just in their first 10 years of service from 1978-1988. Every single F-35A/B/C that has rolled off the line has integrated FLIR in the nose, which also acts as an IRST in conjunction with the 6 DAS IR cameras. They also have the most advanced AESA RADAR ever produced, fused with all the RF and IR sensors. Unlike prior generation fighters where all the ancillary combat systems were bolted on or took up weapons hardpoints after-the-fact, JSF has all of that integrated into the airframe from the start.
Bradly Life is not a video game. If you want the bestest fastest most expensive rocketship plane go ask Optimus Prime for it. Adults have have budgets to consider and since the F-35 in no way makes our country safer it's best to shit can it. Yes you are right it does make Lockheed a richer company but that was never one of our goals.
When the News reports on the F-35 they feature most on the cost to design and build the Navy version that cost way more than the other Two versions that are lesser by time now...
The letter of intent is conditional on three more things...1.) An assessment test I'm scheduled for this Friday (a test similar to the military ASVAB test), 2.) Passing a urine drug screen (no problem) and 3.) My background check being approved (I have one stupid felony, possession of an unregistered firearm, which might be a problem). If I get past those three things I'll be made an offer which is when I'll learn how much they are paying. I suspect at my experience level I'll start out in the low 20s per hour. I drove 3 hours to the hiring event and the "interview" was literally one question; "How much experience do you have in aircraft maintenance and/or manufacturing?" I said "7 years" and he shook my hand & said "welcome aboard."
I went to the hiring event in Palmdale, and I told them that I have 13 years of experience.. And after almost 35 min they said me :congratulations, wait for the letter.
julini - I've said yes to Lockheed Martin. They made me an offer. The pay is almost $30.00 an hour. Incredible benefits I hear, too. And a few thousand in moving expenses. Wow. Much more than I was expecting. I just did my UA and my background check is being processed. That's where I might get rejected since I have one issue on my criminal record. Felony ownership of an unregistered firearm. I sure hope to move to Ft. Worth soon!
Super High Technology Jet Fighter , Compartmentalization of each part to various discrete aerospace companies could help bring the price down.... as long as they are not told what they are Assembling .
It never occured to you not to build it? Lets see-If we don't build it America is safer without it and we don't have to pay for it. Down side-Lockheed is richer if we build it. That's not a good enough reason. I love the fact that Pentagon officials always say HEY WE NEVER ORDERED THIS SHIT. It's always some fucken senator that has a defense plant in his district. And that is why it gets built.
It doesn’t matter what Trump, any president or any politician for that matter thinks about the price. Private industry calls the shots. Not the government.
@@scott.c9587 Just complicated. Engineering on these things is at the edge of the known. It's never been a cheap trade. If unions were the problem you'd see many other nations building things as advanced. I'd doubt those making the money out of this benefit from unions.
hi JJ... keep up make more F-35 with twin jet-engines... DONT worry about currencys... many americans planes are twin motors... some planes are single motor... look at ussr russia have too make planes with twin jet engines... do ussr russia talk about currencys RUBLES or not or shh secret shh or free

Clinton Administration sold China Lockheed high-speed aircraft project management and assembly line operations in the 1990s. Bush family transfered aerospace defense holdings to China with a merger in 2019 (Neil Bush). China is setting up to acquire more GE fighter engine technology.
*FOUR YEARS TO BUILD ONE PLANE?!?!!!!*
I think we just found our cost overrun.
you're an idiot
every plane takes a long time to order

How can you not love an F-35?
The only ones who do not love the F-35 is the Boeing lovers that hate everything about the F-35
@powerone1 Hate to say it but you're right.
@@scott.c9587 Well an opinion is an opinion
So i guess it is what is it is

People are going to forget how to build the weapons they made to protect them
No one man has the knowledge to build this anyway?
But yeah, "people" will forget...
Yeah this one plane has thousands of people behind it. They wouldn’t know if they tried.
This has to be the most American clip ever!

Cool...Just got a letter of intent to be offered a position in building this bad-ass jet.
Good for you, how is the pay there, I would want to work on such a project one day.

Crooked Halo not if you keep bringing it up.
So will the robot be the tax payer too!
robots evade taxes like no one else:d
They will reduce the cost of the planes which are being bought from tax payer money.
Stop complaining already! No one takes your money forever, you'll have it all paid back when retiring. Go elsewhere if you don't like it.
Come on speed up the delivery on them. Us in Denmark are still waiting
my old man works there

Ask brunson if he still has that
Cup i broke for him on vacatipn
Inb4 Lockheed Martin becomes Grunder Industries.
lol, 4 planes per month, what a joke.
Adam yes they also said it would cost half the price of a f22
What do you mean? You are a joke. If you think you can build them faster you try.
712 built and delivered so far. Going from 139 a year up to 156. Will be 450 of them in Europe alone 8 years from now.
Most expensive? CH53K
take labor out of the build process? ?
Under my brutal totalitarian regime nightly business report will be reinvigorated.
I need learn a lot! To be done ask secured you all!
Seems magical thinking to me - knee jerk automation, based wished increase in profits, how many lives will be lost to over automation?
737max !
god curse America corvid reached 18millions Send some F35 to fix it
Actually, we have expected breakfast at Tiffanys. Betrayal of common idea Israels through Mr. Henry Kissinger (for example), is not our beer!
To reduce cost move the plant in china lol!
Unions are what are driving up the cost.
Why it will fall apart in air . No thanks

Because that wouldn't jeopardize any of the plane's secretive technology at all!
Not such a great idea a year later
How can a MIG 21
Can crash a
F16
ASK ANY INDIAN🤣🤣😂😂
My friend this F35 is enough to destroy all the mig 21 and other jets of IAF in a single fight.
That’s too slow 4 years to build. It might takes that long to perfect it. That’ll make sense.
only loyal employee in this mean world r the machines💖
News in china, a windshield flow off one of chinas jets hahaha its true and how the hell did that happen 🤦🏻♂️ never buy china

When the feminist started talking the price of the plane just dropped 25 million.... Engineers worldwide know that a feminist cannot fix a light bulb.

coool nice F-35 jetplane...
but need to add twin jetmotors in the F-35 plane is better than single jetmotor
hi JJ...
keep up make more F-35 with twin jet-engines...
DONT worry about currencys...
many americans planes are twin motors...
some planes are single motor...
look at ussr russia have too make planes with twin jet engines...
do ussr russia talk about currencys RUBLES or not or shh secret shh or free
emgpentinkx muhm
why russian/soviet never use newest aircraft design in real combat ?
'
hi EM...
yes ussr russia have new planes are pakfat-50 / su-57...
what for and why need for...
where ussr russia get currency come from...
ussr russia is a big copy steal from american planes
If you want an affordable, mass-produced fighter with high delivery rates, it has to be single engine.
I have been a members,of that program. Is One,of the great think,t'ha Is appen,in mu Life. F-35? Mu Kids.
11 f35 aircraft making machine I need every monthly send me farm veng district let go
😵😵😵😵😵
Good to know what they use to build it!
China will be happy

Thanks trump!!! My father lose his job to a robot.
I like to work for them one day
Can it win the War in Afghanistan? Sing and Dance ! hundreds of US pilots committed suicide ; fix their hearts and minds hardware can wait
