F-35 Fighter Jet Program is Facing Escalating Costs, With Projections Exceeding $2 Trillion

The F-35 fighter jet program is facing escalating costs, with projections exceeding $2 trillion over its lifetime. The program's sustainment costs account for $1.58 trillion, and the Pentagon's extended service life to 2088 adds to the burgeoning expenses. Despite attempts to mitigate costs, the F-35 fleet struggles to meet its 90% readiness goal. Engine design flaws and underestimating costs during the development stages contribute to the escalating costs.
