Report No. T-NSIAD-98-137
Subject
Summary:

Schedule delays in the engineering and manufacturing development of the advanced F-22 aircraft, including problems in delivering the plane's wings and fuselage, have prompted the Air Force to reconsider the program's cost. The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1988 imposed cost limitations of $18.6 billion on the F-22 engineering and manufacturing development program and $43.4 billion on the production program. In addition, testing delays have limited the amount of information available to support the Air Force's plans to begin production of the F-22 in 1999.
