For more than two decades, the F-35’s costs have increased dramatically while the program has faced numerous delays. As of last spring, the entire U.S. military had about 630 F-35s, according to an April 2024 Government Accountability Office report.
The F-35A, used by the Air Force, costs $82.5 million per plane; the F-35B — a Short Take-Off and Vertical Landing aircraft that is used by the Marine Corps — costs $109 million per plane; and the F-35C, which is used by both the Navy and Marine Corps for aircraft carrier operations, costs $102.1 million per aircraft, according to the F-35 Joint Program Office.
The entire F-35 program is estimated to cost $2.1 trillion during its 94-year lifespan from 1994 to 2088, and that includes all the costs of developing, producing, and sustaining F-35s, including building and modernizing 2,456 aircraft by 2049, the Joint Program Office announced in April.
Meanwhile, the Air Force variant of the jet continues to face reliability issues. Between 2021 and 2024, the F-35A’s mission-capable rate — how often it can perform at least one of its missions — dropped from nearly 69% to 51.5%, according to Air Force Times.
