well I just watched a show on Discovery Wings about the Stealth fighter.. It cost roughly 3 billion to come up with the stealth technology and build a working prototype.. Seems like a lot, but they compared it to Ford motor company and they spent 5 billion developing the Ford Taurus.

So all in all 1 Billion to build a new fighter jet, specally when it's on the cutting edge is very cheap.. when you think about it..
