| + 3. (5.7.12) On June 2, 2010 USA Today reported a story from Bloomberg News that said that the total price tag for the project to build the new F-35 Joint Strike Fighter would be 65% higher than the original $232 billion estimate. The cost now is estimated to be $382 billion. The total cost of each plane would be $112.4 million, up 81% from the original $62 million. The cost to produce each plane would be $92.4 million, about 85% higher than the original estimate of $50 million. a.
