Pratt and GE butt heads again over F-35 engine alternative
Pratt & Whitney and General Electric have bought their high-stakes battle over the provision of an alternative engine for the Lockheed-Martin F-35.

Pratt & Whitney and General Electric have bought their high-stakes battle over the provision of an alternative engine for the Lockheed-Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter to Farnborough. 

The GE-Rolls-Royce Fighter Engine Team is determined to recover funding for its F136 engine, which was removed from the 2011 budget by the Pentagon. At the show, Jean Lydon-Rogers, GE military engines vice president, said the F136 program is “of enormous importance to GE. It is critical for us to be in the combat aircraft sector. We want to be part of JSF.”
