To the Joint Strike Fighter engine team at Pratt & Whitney, it is a little more complicated, even though they have some 7,000 hours of development testing on the F135 engine behind them. The team has begun assembling the first flight test F135 engine for the F-35 JSF. P&W says it plans to deliver the engine to Lockheed Martin in Fort Worth, Tex., in December.
The YFQ-42A Collaborative Combat Aircraft has resumed flight testing after a six-week pause initiated when one of the drones crashed in early April.
