British industry will build 15% by value of each of the 3,000-plus planned F-35s, creating and sustaining more than 20,000 jobs across the UK.
From the Martin-Baker ejection seat to the Cobham refuelling probe and BAE Systems-built horizontal tails, every F-35 has British parts incorporated from nose to tail.
Ultra Electronics, Collins Aerospace and Rolls-Royce are just some of the more than 100 UK-based suppliers. (Source: Lockheed Martin)
