The current projected acquisition cost, including development, is $139.5 million per aircraft, according to the acquisition report. That’s 20 percent more than the original baseline set in 2005. A 1982 law would require notifying Congress if the overrun reaches 30 percent of the baseline or more.
This is going to be a great machine once it's all ironed out - and at that price, so it should be !! Anyway, doesn't really matter in the long term. The USA is heading for bankruptcy so enjoy the print and spend mentality while it lasts !
