Lockheed Martin Poised to Launch 110 F-35 Fighters in 2024!
Lockheed Martin disclosed that it delivered a total of 110 F-35 fighter jets to the United States and its allies in 2024, the Bethesda, Maryland-based defense corporation revealed in a statement on Wednesday.
This overall shipment aligns with the upper boundary of the projected range of 75 to 110 aircraft deliveries that CEO Jim Taiclet mentioned during an earnings call last summer.
Lockheed adjusted its revenue forecast in July after the Pentagon recommenced receiving F-35 shipments following a lengthy delay due to software upgrade issues. Lockheed has been improving the jets through the Technology Refresh 3, or TR-3 program, which equips the F-35 with advanced displays and enhanced processing functions.
Lockheed’s F-35 program constitutes about 30% of the firm’s total revenue.
“Lockheed Martin is completely committed to advancing and providing unrivaled air superiority solutions to the United States and our partners, ensuring that America retains its aerial dominance,” the company declared in an announcement.
