How long does it take to build a military airplane?

I'm doing a report and I have to know how long it takes. thanks

It depends on aircraft but it keeps getting longer. F-22 prototype The first flight was in the early nineties years and is only now in service. In the Dassault Rafale prototype first flew in 1986 and only entered into service this year! Twenty years! It seems that the basic flight aircraft it takes around 3-6 years, but it takes many more years Development and integration of various systems and iron out any bugs.
