Lockheed Martin Wins on JSF, Boeing Loss of F-35 Won't be Fatal

摘要

Lockheed Martin won the 200-billion dollars JSF battle Friday 26 October. The Joint Strike Fighter is a family of highly common, lethal, survivable, supportable, and affordable next-generation multi-role strike fighter aircraft. There are three variants: one for conventional takeoff and landing, applied to the Air Force mission; a carrier-deck-compatible variant for the Navy; and a short takeoff and vertical landing -- STOVL-- variant for the Marine Corps and the United Kingdom.This family of aircraft will replace the aging fleet of Air Force A-10s and F-16s, the early model Navy F/A-18 C/Ds, and the Marine Corps AV-8Bs.
