Scusa Gianni ma dagli ultimi dati pare che il costo fly-away dell'F-35 sarà intorno ai 100 milioni, non credo che il raptor possano esportarlo a meno!
Noi gli EFA li abbiamo pagati 160 milioni l'uno!
The Defense Department’s quarterly Selected Acquisition Report (SAR) of December 31, 2005, estimated the JSF program at $276,458.9 million in current-year dollars for 2,458 aircraft, which equates to a program unit acquisition cost (PUAC)
of $112.4 million per aircraft in then-year dollars (accounting for inflation). The average procurement cost (APUC) (which does not include R&D or other “sunk” costs) is estimated at $94.8 million per aircraft in then-year dollars. The December
2005 SAR also notes that the JSF program has breached a “Nunn-McCurdy” cost growth limit: unit cost growth over 30% of the original Acquisition Program
Baseline. The latest PUAC and APUC cost estimates are, respectively, 32.8% and 31.3% higher than cost estimates made in October 2001.
The JSF program estimate has increased over $45 billion from the September 2003 estimate due primarily to a one year extension in the program’s System Development and Demonstration phase, a corresponding one year delay in procurement (from FY2006 to FY207), revised annual quantity profiles, and revised labor and overhead rates. Much of this increased cost and schedule slippage was incurred to address growing weight issues in the development of the F-35B, the STOVL variant.
