Lockheed Martin F35 Lightning II stealth fighter
Manufacturer: Lockheed Martin Lockheed Martin Special feature: helmet-mounted display system Estimated production cost: 80 million US dollars* The new F35 Lightning II single-engine multirole fighter was developed by Lockheed Martin. It was designed for ground attack and air superiority missions, and the program ultimately cost around US$1.7 trillion. It was thus the most expensive air weapons program in history. However, due to the high cost, research and construction work was delayed. The spectacular aircraft is powered by a Pratt & Whitney F135 engine, which contributes to its speed and manoeuvrability, making it highly versatile in combat situations, so the costs were not ultimately in vain.
