US defence budget scraps second F-35 engine
Posted on: Feb. 6th, 2006 || Source: today.reuters.co.uk | E-mail Article | Print Article
The new F-35 radar-evading aircraft, the Pentagon's costliest warplane project, is intended to replace a wide range of U.S. and foreign fighter jets.
"The GE motor is not in the president's budget," Brig. Gen. C.R. Davis, deputy programme executive officer for the JSF programme, told Reuters in a telephone interview. "That's the only major change to our budget," he added.
