$2.9 Billion "Not A Detailed, Comprehensive Estimate"

alternate engine for the F-35 JSF may come in significantly less

that it could cost more as well.
The Future Strategic Tanker Aircraft (FSTA), designed and built
for the U.K. Royal Air Force (RAF), completed a successful first
flight Thursday after being configured for its tanker transport
mission.
