Report To The Congress

Is The Joint Air Force/Navy Alternate

Engine Program Workable?

GAO Thinks Not As Presently StructUred



The Department of Defense is developing a
backup engine, the F101DFE, for the engines
in the Navy's F-14 and the Air Force's F-16
fighter aircraft in the event the improvement
programs for those engines fail.

Unfortunately, the F101DFE program in its
present form does not promise that a produc-
tion engine with the required performance
and supportability characteristics will be
available when or if needed or that using the
backup engine will be cost effective and
affordable.

If the services are to pursue this program, ex-
perience in prior programs suggests specific
actions are needed. Otherwise, the program
should be terminated.
