F-35 News. Approaching 200 mill per copy...

via Defense Industry Daily...

The F-35, meanwhile would get additional funds to produce more units (up to 57 from 38), reportedly to help bring down the per-unit cost, which is rapidly gaining ground on the all-important $200 million-per-copy figure that effectively blew up the now-defunct F-22 program production.

Yeah.

The price is coming down all right.

Tell me again how crazy I am to believe that this airplane is tip toeing on the edge of the dreaded death spiral!
