Massive New F-35 Deal Lowers Price by 11.5% to $80 Million Each Price drop for Lot 13 occurs a full year ahead of schedule... with more to come in Lot 14 ? Current production, under Lot 11, has the aircraft cost $89.2 million each. The deal made would lower the cost of an F-35A to $80 million in Lot 13. "This agreement has achieved an estimated 8.8 percent savings from ($89.2 million in) Lot 11 to ($81.35 million in) Lot 12 F-35As,” Lord said, as well as an average reduction of 15 percent “across all variants from Lot 11 to Lot 14.” The numbers suggest that even larger percentage price drops will apply to B and C models than to the A model pricing noted, although they will no doubt remain significantly more expensive. Recent sales of roughly comparable fully modernized F-16 fighters have been priced at $151 million each.
