Same deal with the “Lockheed Martin” F-16. It was General Dynamics all the way.

I guess you don't remember the General Dynamics had no clue how to fabricate Titanium? Lyndon Johnson, went to court to force shared technology in order for GD to even think about building.

That was before my time.

I can tell you that we taught McDonnell Douglas how to make Tomahawk cruise missiles and that we did a really good job manufacturing composites for the F-16, the DC-10, the B-767 and we took a dying tank program from Chrysler and made the M-1 what it is.
