The U.S. Defense Department told General Electric Co. and Rolls-Royce Group Plc it was ending their 14-year-old project on a second engine for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.
The “notice of termination” was issued because Congress hasn’t included funding in the fiscal 2011 budget signed into law April 15 by President Barack Obama, the Pentagon said today in a statement.
