Joint Strike Fighter (JSF)
is a development and acquisition program intended to replace a wide range of
existing
fighter,
strike, and
ground attack aircraft for the United States, the United Kingdom, Turkey,
Italy, Canada, Australia, the Netherlands, and their allies. After a competition
between the
Boeing
X-32 and the
Lockheed Martin X-35, a final design was chosen based on the X-35. This is
the
F-35 Lightning II, which will replace various tactical aircraft, including
the US
F-16,
A-10,
F/A-18A-D,
AV-8B and British
Harrier GR7, GR9s, and
Tornado GR4. The projected average annual cost of this program is $12.5
billion with an estimated program life-cycle cost of $1.1 trillion.[1]
