Original Note:
So far only $397.8 billion has been spent on the F-35. The $1.7 trillion figure comes from an estimate by the GAO of the additional costs spent on maintenance ($1.3 trillion) over the 66-year service life of the planes until their expected retirement in 2070. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-04-25/lockheed-s-398-billion-f-35-at-risk-of-costly-fixes-gao-says https://www.gao.gov/assets/730/720191.pdf
