Well, if you want to quibble, I pulled this off wikipedia... Whether it's 200 million or almost 400 million as stated below, those numbers are utterly ridiculous IMO for a single seat fighter plane.... In April 2006, the cost of the F-22 was assessed by the Government Accountability Office to be $361 million per aircraft. This cost reflects the F-22 total program cost, divided by the number of fighters the Air Force is programmed to buy; and which has so far invested $28 billion in the Raptor's research, development and testing. That money, referred to as a "sunk cost", is already spent and is separate from money used for future decision-making, including procuring a copy of the jet. The Unit Procurement Cost was estimated at $177.6 million in 2006 based on a production run of 181 airframes.[18] This unit cost will decrease if total production is higher. This cost includes $3.233 billion already spent on research and development by 2006.[19] By the time all 183 fighters have been purchased, $34 billion will have been spent on actual procurement, resulting in a total program cost of $62 billion or about $339 million per aircraft.
