JSF Program Deputy Director "Not Losing Sleep" Over Engine Incident

An update since our last post:

According to a report from Reuters, Deputy Program Executive Officer for the F-35 Lightning II Program Office Major General C.D. Moore told reporters a problem with the F135 engine should not delay a planned flight test schedule.

"Moore said he was optimistic about resolving the issue because an earlier version of the engine had already passed the certification testing. 'I'm not losing sleep over it,' he told Reuters after the news conference" according to the story.

Moore also said that he was confident that the program can meet its cost and schedule requirements.
