The incident occurred on 30 August on a test stand at P&W's West Palm Beach, Florida facility, where the company is working towards initial flight release of the STOVL F135 to support the planned May 2008 first flight of the F-35B.
P&W says the F135 was "completing a control model validation qualification test in powered-lift mode...when it automatically powered down based on a stall indication".
