EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Oct. 6 (UPI) -- Northrop Grumman contracted Turkish Aerospace Industries to produce composite air inlet ducts for the F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter.
The five-year, $28.4 million deal gives Northrop Grumman the opportunity to move forward with a swift transition from a rate of production of one center fuselage per month to a rate of one center fuselage per day.
"This contract reinforces Northrop Grumman's commitment to help expand international participation in the F-35 program, while keeping us focused on putting aircraft on the ramp to meet our customers' operational need dates," said Mark Tucker, vice president and F-35 program manager for Northrop Grumman's Aerospace Systems sector.
Northrop Grumman produces the center fuselage for the F-35 currently at its California manufacturing facility.
Turkish Aerospace Industries serves as a second-source supplier to Northrop Grumman. The U.S.-based defense contractor opened its first facility in Ankara in November.
Deliveries of the F-35 air inlet ducts are scheduled for June.
