This week's Aviation Week & Space Technology has a Point/Counterpoint on the F-35 alternate engine. Here is the intro and links to both of the perspectives. Development of an F136 alternate engine for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter is one of the most contentious military issues facing Congress as lawmakers return from their summer recess.
