April 25, the U.S. Defense have announced that they suspended the F-35 stealth aircraft’s reserved engines’ contract, which was signed with U.S. GE and the Britain’s Rolls-Royce. Indeed, it was decided when discussing the 2011 budget, after the defense partment bargain with the Congress, they still eliminated the reserved engines costs from the budget.
