Germany's Rheinmetall AG said Friday that it has signed a letter of intent with Lockheed Martin Corp. and Northrop Grumman Corp. as a potential partner to supply center fuselages for the F-35 combat jet.

The potential partnership would establish a second integrated assembly line for F-35 center fuselage in Germany, Rheinmetall said.

The letter of intent signed with Lockheed and Northrop makes Rheinmetall a promising strategic source of supply for the F-35 center fuselage, the German defense company said.
