(Luft) Lockheed Martin F-35 - Lightning II

Scheint als ob eine Britische final assembly line (womöglich für Europa?) noch im Gespräch ist:

But Turner advocated Britain taking a hard line with the Pentagon on technology from the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF), the world’s largest defence project. If it was not forthcoming, Britain should consider withdrawing. The British government has already invested £2 billion to become lead partner.

“If we don’t get there (the transfer of the required intellectual property) I think Geoff Hoon (the defence secretary) will have to think about our involvement in this programme,” said Turner.

Key decisions on securing a British assembly line would have to be taken in the next 12 months, he said. Current plans for the JSF envisage only one assembly line — in America.
