Competition, argue P&W and the Pentagon, won't save money on the JSF engine. Really?Exhibit A: WASHINGTON, Aug 25 (Reuters) - United Technologies Corp's Pratt & Whitney unit, facing criticism for rising costs on the engine that powers the F-35 fighter jet, said on Tuesday it is investing a "considerable amount" to drive the engine's cost lower in the longer term.
