The F-35 inventory is owned by the US Department of Defence and is managed by Lockheed Martin Aeronautics and Pratt and Whitney. The details on the proportion of F35 components produced by UK companies are not known.

The F35 Programme does not classify components as wear-sensitive. Components are either "repairable" or "consumable".
