Furloughs to affect F-35 development

Sean Stackley, assistant U.S. Navy secretary for research, development and acquisition, told Reuters on Monday that flight testing of the F-35 will be cut due to furloughs on civilian workers.

He added that flight testing for the rest of the year would likely be reduced by at least 20 percent.
