Tempest jet is planned to become operational in 2035 and will lead to hundreds of high-skilled jobs being created across Britain's world-leading defence industry.
The UK is joining forces with Italy and Japan to develop a next-generation fighter jet that will be operational by 2035, Rishi Sunak will announce today.
The prime minister will today launch the first phase of the collaboration on a visit to RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire, where he will view Typhoon aircraft which have been the workhorse of the nation's air capability for the last two decades. Auditors PricewaterhouseCoopers suggested last year that taking a leading role in developing such an aircraft could support 21,000 jobs a year and contribute £26.2bn to the economy by 2050.
