BAE Systems Makes 1000th F-35 Fuselage
BAE Systems delivered the 1,000th rear fuselage to Lockheed Martin for the F-35 Lightning II fighter.
More than 1,500 employees at the Company’s facilities in Samlesbury, Lancashire, produce the rear fuselage for every F-35. The first fuselage was delivered to Lockheed Martin in 2005.
Bridget Lauderdale, Lockheed Martin Vice President and General Manager of the F-35 programme, said: "The F-35 programme powers economic growth and prosperity for the UK injecting approximately £41billion into the UK economy and supporting more than 20,000 jobs in the UK supply chain, many of those based in the North West.”
