With respect to the Aeronautics segment the majority of revenue is earned through production, design, as well as upgrade and support of Lockheed’s numerous projects. Major programs include the “F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter, C-130 Hercules, F-16 Fighting Falcon, F-22 Raptor, and the C-5M Super Galaxy.” These programs are all typically very long in duration and provide a sustained revenue stream through maintenance and upgrade years after the sale of a plane.
