Mitsubishi Heavy Industries awarded Lockheed Martin a contract valued at more than $130 million on 31 March to manufacture components for six additional F-2 production aircraft. MHI is the prime contractor for the F-2, Japan's long-range, highly maneuverable support fighter. This new award brings the total aircraft under contract to seventy-one. The company will continue to provide all the aft fuselages, wing leading edge flaps, and stores management systems; eighty percent of all left-hand wing boxes; and other avionics and avionics support equipment. Lockheed Martin components are shipped to MHI's Komaki-South facility in Nagoya, Japan where they are assembled by MHI with other components to form the F-2.
