An RAAF F-22 Raptor.Actually, if only one more plane were ordered over the 187, costs falls to $200plus million, if all 750 were ordered cost per plane would fall to $90 million, if the plane was exported to Austrailia, Japan and Israel, cost goes below $70 million per.
Current number cost per, includes all R&D and associated development costs.
So the short answer to “how many planes from the THREE billion spent on cash for clunkers” depends on how many planes are ordered.
See: “The Untimely Demise of the F-22” linked from another F22 post.
Where do you get those numbers? Current flyaway costs, the cost to build an aircraft without taking research and development costs into account, are $143 million.
A billion dollars would have bought almost 7 F-22s.
