"The Lockheed Martin F-35, powered by the Pratt & Whitney F135 engine was the winner of the Joint Strike Fighter competition in 2001 (Gertler, 2012, p. 1). The Department of Defense plans to buy 2,457 F-35 aircraft (Oliveri, Both Sides of F-35 Debate Try to Use Numbers, Delays to Their Advantage, 2010) (Abramson, 2013). The total value of all the engine contracts is estimated to be $100B (Donnelly, Pressure Mounts in F-35 Engine Debate; Gates Believes Veto Is Imminent, 2010). Starting in FY1996, Congress mandated the development of an alternate engine to the F135. The two engines would be interchangeable. The alternate engine would provide competition for future purchases of engines for the Joint Strike Fighter, and would decrease the overall cost of program, according to proponents. The F136, developed by General Electric and Rolls Royce was developed as the alternate engine (Gertler, 2012, p. 1)."--Background.

Case Study on Congressional Funding for the F-35 Alternate Engine available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. "The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) Alternate Engine Program gained national awareness when the Department of Defense (DoD) as part of the executive branch squared off against Congress in a very public debate over whether to continue funding the alternate engine for the JSF. The real issue at hand was what the best strategy is going forward to support increased national security. For many years Congress over-ruled DoD wishes to stop funding the program instead insisting that continued engine competition will drive a better quality engine for our nation's primary strike aircraft and lower costs over the long term, thereby enabling more and better quality resources toward our national security. The DoD maintained that the exorbitant costs needed today could never be recouped, and with low operational risks of the primary engine due to better technologies today, funding a second engine only detracted funds from other defense priorities and unnecessarily damages our national security."--Introduction.
