Inside the Air Force, Nov. 6, 2009—Defense Secretary Robert Gates today will scrutinize the Joint Strike Fighter program and a new Pentagon cost estimate that suggests significantly more time and money may be required to develop the F-35, raising questions about the affordability of the current program of record as the Defense Department girds for an era of fiscal belt-tightening.

US Defence Secretary Robert Gates has sacked the marine general overseeing a $40bn (£25bn) project to build the next generation strike fighter jet.

Mr Gates said the F-35 programme had been plagued by problems and failed to hit performance targets.

He also said Lockheed Martin, the US corporation responsible for building the jet, would not be awarded $614m in performance-related payouts.
