Britain has signed a deal with Japan and Italy to build the next generation fighter.
"The Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP) deal will see the headquarters for the cooperative defence partnership based in the UK - with a Japanese chief executive overseeing the project at the outset."
" The programme combines BAE Systems' Tempest project in the UK with the Mitsubishi F-X development scheme, alongside Italian aerospace company Leonardo. In Britain, the goal is for the new jets to take to the skies by 2035 in order to replace the RAF's Eurofighter Typhoon"
