The Air Force said it is fixing technological glitches in about 90 F-22 Raptor fighter jets after several aircraft computer systems were disabled mid-flight. Six stealth fighter jets, built by Bethesda-based Lockheed Martin and partner Boeing, were participating in an inaugural 12-hour flight from Hawaii to Japan on Feb. 10 when several aircraft computer systems experienced problems, an Air Force colonel said.
Engineers found the problem within hours and fixed it within days, the Air Force said. Lockheed Martin declined to comment further on additional costs of the upgrades.
