Have you ever wanted to know what it takes to fully assembly a stealth fighter?
In case you have, I've got the file for you. The image above is a snapshot from a manufacturing sequence flow chart sent to me yesterday by Lockheed Martin, after it was approved for release by the US government.
A greatly miniaturized version of it will appear in next week's issue of Flight International, as part a feature article on the increasingly urgent ramp-up of the F-35 production system.
Keep in mind when you look at this chart that Lockheed's manufacturing team currently plans to complete -- and repeat -- this entire process at least once every month. By 2017, the process may have to repeated every day to keep up with manufacturing demand.

Any link to the full size image?
Can you post the larger file version so the text is readable when enlarged?
Glue and paint not included?
Yes, but you'll need an export license.
I can send the full 7MB file to anybody who wants it. Just send me your email address. (Our blog service won't let me post a file that big here.)
I am interested in the 7 mb file, can you forward it please?
Email me the image please, I have about a gig on my gmail account.
