Navy F111 Substitute VFX1 May Cost Billions
Congressional Quarterly sources report the Navy’s VFX1 fighter as an expensive substitute for the ill fated F111B. Price estimates exceed 12 million per copy with total program procurement potentially reaching 3 billion dollars plus up to 1 billion in development costs. Weight reductions are slim, around 5 to 15 percent, leaving heavy components from the F111 largely intact. The Senate Armed Services Committee has funded a rapid development effort, and officials expect broad support from both chambers.
