Rheinmetall to Build F-35 Fuselage Factory in Germany
By Mauro Orru
German arms maker Rheinmetall set out plans to build a factory in Weeze, Germany, to produce fuselage sections for the F-35A Lightning II warplane, building on its partnership with Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman after signing a letter of intent earlier this year.
Rheinmetall said Tuesday that the new plant would produce at least 400 F-35A fuselage sections for the German air force and other partner nations, starting in 2025.
"This marks an important milestone in the German F-35 program - this increase in capacity helps meet the growing global demand that further enables the F-35 to stay ahead of evolving threats in the 21st century landscape," said Mike Shoemaker, vice president of F-35 Customer Programs at Lockheed Martin.
