Today, it was announced that Lockheed-Martin will build the Joint Stike Fighter. And, for the discounted price of only $300 billion, they will design and build 3,000 of this fighter aircraft. The main reason that they were selected over Boeing was that their design was considered less risky. It has been speculated and is likely that some of the work will be contracted out to Boeing.
Lockheed-Martin plans to build the Joint Strike Fighter at their Fort Worth, Texas plant and they anticipate that this will create an additional 4,500 jobs.
