- Lockheed Martin Corp. was the big winner in the Joint
Strike Fighter derby Friday as the Pentagon awarded it the largest contract
ever in military history. Lockheed beat out Boeing Co. for the deal
-
- The deal could mean as many as 3,000 planes for the U.S.
Air Force, Navy, Marines and the United Kingdom under a $200 billion contract.
International sales could double that number to $400 billion over the program's
life, which could be decades.
-
- The amount actually awarded Friday was for an initial
$20 billion to develop the plane further. If the program goes through to
full production for the Pentagon, it could become a $200 billion program.
The $200 billion for international sales is a rough estimate, analysts
say. Read more. ___
