Production will start a few days. 30 sections of the central fuselage will do year -time, but volumes may increase.
In the belief that in the land of North Rhine-Westphalia (Germany), the Rheinmetall Defense Company has built a fuselage plant for an American F-35 fighter-bomber. Spiegel reported it.
It is noted that labor will start in a few days.
As you know, Rheinmetall provides the components of the American Company Northrop Grumman, which previously made the middle sections of the fusel (consisting of approximately 300 thousand separate parts) in the United States. Now the company has built a plant, the cost of which is about 200 million euros.
30 sections of the central fuselage will do year -time, but volumes may increase.
“We are working to make up to 36 of these key components for the most universal and powerful fighter in the world here, in a belief,” said Rheinmetall CEO Armin Papperger, who expresses the confidence that Germany will also place additional orders.
After a series of technical preparation work and various stages of labor, the first section of the central fuselage was planned to be delivered to the customer in the fall of 2026. It will be sent to the United States, where the fighter will be assembled into all other components and made it invisible on the radars.
Rheinmetall has a frame contract for 400 sections of the central fuselages of the F-35, which should be built for 17-20 years. Production will increase a little. Currently, 200 people are working at the facility near the airport; It is expected that by the fall of 2026 the number of employees will increase by more than double.
