1Geopolitical Asymmetry Fixed-Wing

NATO commands 80.8% of total program value ($805B). China holds 7.2% ($72B). Russia holds 7.0% ($70B). The F-35A alone ($182B) exceeds the combined value of all Chinese and Russian programs.
NATO - 80.8%
China - 7.2%
Russia - 7.0%
Other - 5.0%

2Market Concentration Fixed-Wing

Lockheed Martin 34.3% ($342B). F-35 = 26.8% of entire global market. CR4 = 67.9%. HHI = 1,714. Northrop's risk is higher - 86% of value from 123 B-21 units.

3Production Decline Fixed-Wing

All blocs declining: NATO -62%, China -48%, Russia -21%. 36 programs sunsetting, 9 emerging.

4Capability Gaps Fixed-Wing

B-21 only strategic bomber globally. China/Russia: ZERO. Electronic Attack: zero post-2023. ASW: P-8A sunset.

5Trainer Pipeline Fixed-Wing

NATO 754 next-gen trainers vs China 244 vs Russia 0. 3:1 advantage compounds over 20-year pilot lifecycle.

6Volume-Value Inversion Fixed-Wing

East $40M/unit vs West $150M+/unit. Volume masks technology gap. Bubble size = total value.

7UCAV Disruption Analysis

High probability by 2035: UCAVs could shift 15% of fighter value ($40B+) to $10-20M platforms. Not in dataset.

The Threat

Attritable UCAVs at $10-20M/unit could replace 15% of F-35-class procurement by 2035. $40B+ shifts from LM/Boeing to new entrants.

Known Programs

US: CCA, MQ-28, XQ-58, Kratos Mako. Turkey: Kizilelma. China: GJ-11, WZ-7/8. Russia: Okhotnik (S-70).

Missing Data

~$250-400B of 5th/6th-gen + UCAV value entirely missing from forecast. Dataset captures 4.5-gen sunset only.

Timeline

2025-30: Prototypes. 2030-35: Deployments. 2035-40: Mass production. Post-2040: Market fracture.

8Rotorcraft Landscape 1641 Teal Group

84 rotorcraft programs (2025-2034), 12K total units. NATO dominates (90%+). China: only 100 civil units. Russia: ZERO rotorcraft in forecast. Sikorsky UH-60 (938 units) is largest military program.
