The more you build the cheaper they get. Over time if the sales team do their job the F35 should be part of many friendly Air Forces and generate revenue and jobs.

Nothing ever keeps within budget, it is almost like a game in that the contractor gets the green light on initial forecasts. Then when it is too far down the line announces the cost over runs. Unlike NASA projects I doubt there will be any cancellation of weapons platforms.

This will be the last manned attack aircraft, from here on it will be UAV/UCAV that will dominate new technology. F22/35's will command and control squadron's of these vehicles as well as being part of the overall attack.
