WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Pentagon said on Wednesday that no additional cracks have been found on F-35 fighter engines during inspections begun after the February 19 incident that has grounded the entire fighter fleet and halted operation of the engines on the ground.
Kyra Hawn, spokeswoman for the F-35 program office, said the investigation into the incident at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida was continuing, with engineers at engine maker Pratt & Whitney due to break open the affected engine blade for further study on Wednesday.
