From groundbreaking innovations to product milestones, Lockheed Martin’s Q4 showcased the future of air power.

Global Air Dominance: 

  • Lockheed Martin delivered 110 F-35s in 2024, meeting our commitment goal.
  • Romania became the 20th Member of the F-35 Global Alliance.
  • The first Bulgarian F-16 Block 70 took flight from our Greenville, South Carolina, production facility in late October. 
  • In a real-time live fly demonstration, an F-35 flying from our facility in Fort Worth, Texas, shared classified data via a Skunk Works’ Open Systems Gateway through commercial satellite communications and into a Royal Air Force lab in Farnborough, UK, where it was integrated into their Nexus C2 system. 
  • In another first, the Skunk Works team, along with the U.S. Navy and General Atomics, completed a live control flight demonstration of an uncrewed system by the Unmanned Carrier Aviation Mission Control Station, which was powered by our MDCX™ autonomy platform.
