Aircraft Cost Update

Here’s some updated aircraft costs taken from the proposed budget documents submitted to Congress (1).  The numbers are self-explanatory.


F/A-18E/F      2016  qty=5                $350M     ($70M ea)

F-35C             2015  qty=4                $928M     ($232M ea)
                       2016  qty=6                $1,062B  ($177M ea)

F-35B             2015  qty=6                $1,288B  ($215M ea)
                       2016  qty=15              $2,292B  ($153M ea)

Those F-35 costs are a bit more than the numbers that F-35 supporters like to throw around.  It’s hard to imagine the costs dropping to $80M ea or less as has been recently claimed.
