The delays only affect the aircraft that were scheduled to be delivered in Q1 2024. They will now be delivered in Q2 2024.

The crash site for a stealth fighter jet that went missing during the weekend after its pilot ejected was located Monday in rural South Carolina after the military asked the public for help finding an aircraft built to elude detection.
The debris field was discovered in Williamsburg County, about 70 miles north of Charleston, South Carolina.
