The head of the U.S. concern stated that the company is able to transplant method solutions developed in the Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) program to F-35.** As a result, Lightning II is expected to receive 80% of the fresh aircraft's capacity at 50% of its price (which is estimated at around $300 million per NGAD).
