FORT WORTH, Texas — Officials of Lockheed Martin Corp. and Boeing Co. met Friday to discuss sharing work on the Joint Strike Fighter, potentially the largest ever U.S. military contract.
Lockheed and Boeing released a joint statement after the meeting saying the companies "now have a much better understanding of each other's business considerations" and have agreed to meet again at an undetermined date.
Two weeks ago, the Pentagon announced it had picked Lockheed over Boeing to develop the new plane. The production phase of the work could be worth $200 billion, based on a projected order of 3,000 planes.
