General Electric and Rolls-Royce have terminated their joint F136 engine programme, which aimed to provide an alternative engine for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, it has been announced.
Programme funding had already been terminated by the US Department of Defense (DoD) in April, but the GE Rolls-Royce Fighter Engine Team (FET) had offered to self-fund the development of the engine into 2012.
The latest decision means the F136 programme is now finsihed.
