Decision to cut F-35 alternate engine flawed, GAO says
The U.S. Government Accountability Office said Monday the Pentagon's decision to scrap an alternate engine for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter is flawed.
GAO fault the Pentagon for looking at short-term cost-savings and did not factor in the full long-term savings resulting from competition between two engine programs. Pentagon officials challenged the report.
Supporters of the F136 program said the findings boost their efforts to keep the program going.
