F-35 maker posts strong growth but flags funding gap for future jets

F-35 manufacturer Lockheed Martin has raised its full-year financial outlook after reporting double-digit growth in sales and earnings, but says preparatory work on a future batch of fighters has outgrown its existing US government contract funding.

Denmark and Norway already operate the F-35, while Finland has begun introducing the aircraft. The company’s update does not announce any changes to Nordic delivery schedules.
