Orbital ATK and Lockheed Martin celebrated the successful completion of the 5,000th Orbital ATK-built F-35 composite part. The 5,000 composite parts equate to approximately 430 ship sets and demonstrate Orbital ATK’s ability to meet customers’ high quality standards and delivery requirements to support U.S. and international forces around the world.
“This milestone not only reflects our long-term partnership with Lockheed Martin on the F-35 program, it also showcases the growth of composite manufacturing in Utah as Orbital ATK has added over 500 jobs in the past two years and expects to add many more jobs over the next 20 years,” said Steve Earl, Vice President and General Manager of Orbital ATK’s Aerospace Structures Division.
