• Appendix A: Calculation of Theoretical Maximum Joint Aircraft Acquisition Program Savings -- Appendix B: Calculation of the Joint Acquisition Cost-Growth Premium from Historical Aircraft Programs -- Appendix C: Calculation of Maximum Joint O&S Savings from an "Ideal" Joint Fighter Program -- Appendix D: Exploring the Magnitude of Joint O&S Savings Needed to Offset Joint Acquisition Cost-Growth Premium -- Appendix E: Primary Methodology for Comparing JSF Costs with Those of Three Notional Single-Service Fighters -- Appendix F: Alternative Procurement Methodology and Results for Comparing JSF Costs with Those of Three Notional Single-Service Fighters
• These appendixes explain the methodology used in an analysis of the costs and savings of joint aircraft acquisition programs. They illustrate calculations for theoretical maximum joint aircraft savings in acquisition and in operations and support, historical joint aircraft cost-growth premiums, savings needed to offset premiums, and two cost-comparison methodologies
