F-35, no where near having stable production methods

Illegal low rate initial production (no milestone-C) and 7 batches done. Verdict? They are still nowhere near achieving stable production methods.

That pot of money will go toward identifying and changing how certain parts of the plane, such as drilling machines or material, are produced for the plane. When those changes are made, it should lead to savings that can be plowed back into the price negotiations for production lots, providing cash back for taxpayers.
