Lockheed Martin's latest fee on the Joint Strike Fighter jet program is its lowest ever because of production delays.
Lockheed, based in Bethesda, earned 67.3 percent of the fee available for the six-month period ending Oct. 31, according to Defense Department figures. The lowest previous award was 69.9 percent in late 2004. Lockheed's only profit in the 12-year development phase is the fee.
