A very expensive, time-consuming failure. The F-35 was supposed to be a low-cost, lightweight fighter jet. But with a cost of around $100 million per jet and project delays now stretching into double digits, the F-35 is one of the most high-profile failures in the history of military procurement.

What makes F-35 so special?

With stealth designed in from day one, the F-35 has an unmatched ability to evade enemy detection and enter contested airspace.
