At a press meeting on May 12, 2016 at approximately 10 a.m. local time, the prime minister and the defence minister of Denmark announced that the government recommend buying 27 F-35 aircraft.

The latest agreement continues to support program affordability initiatives with continued reduction in price associated with propulsion system production.

The work is being done to prepare for a rise in production of the combat jet.

“Marand has been an industry leader and outstanding performer in the global F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program to date, with contracts for the vertical tail, engine trailer and production tooling,” Minister Brough said.

Australia’s JSF Program Manager, Air Vice-Marshal (AVM) Chris Deeble, said that participation and collaboration from Australian defence industry will be critical to delivering and sustaining the new F-35 JSF aircraft.

The center fuselage, designated AX-5, will be integrated into an F-35A conventional takeoff and landing variant.

The second round of testing is a milestone for the jet, which has wider wings than Air Force and Marine Corps versions, holds more fuel, and is designed to be catapulted off the deck of an aircraft carrier, and then land, using a special hook and heavy arresting gear.

Under the Sept. 15 agreement, Australia will finance the development of a new RF-seeking capability, which will enable the missile to locate targets based on electronic signature.

Lockheed Martin told the story of its multi-role stealth fighter — the F-35 Lightning II — with cockpit simulation flights for elected officials and employees of local defense industry suppliers.

Technology is integral to the function of the F-35 Lightning II jet fighter, providing unprecedented situational awareness for pilots
