Lockheed’s F-35 program contributes about 30% of the company’s revenue.Bethesda, Maryland-based defense contractor Lockheed Martin said in a statement Wednesday that it has delivered a total of 110 F-35 fighter jets to the United States and its allies in 2024.
The total number of deliveries was at the high end of a range of 75 to 110 jet aircraft delivered, which CEO Jim Teichlett said in last summer’s earnings call.
Lockheed raised its sales goals in July after the Pentagon resumed F-35 deliveries after a months-long pause due to delays in software updates. Lockheed is upgrading the jet under its Technology Refresh 3 (TR-3) program, which improves the F-35’s display and processing capabilities.
