Pratt Outsourcing is failing the F-35

Even after four years of building Joint Strike Fighter prototypes, Pratt & Whitney is having problems managing the suppliers who provide 80 percent of the engine's parts, Government Accountability Office auditors say, creating a need for "substantial improvements in the global supply network."
Even more examples of Outsourcing resulting in failure after failure after failure.
Pratt and Whitney never had these issues when 100% of the Engines were built in East Hartford CT. Those were the good old days. Americans had jobs and these companies were successful.
The GAO noted that the planes are failing more frequently than expected in testing — managing just 1 hour, 50 minutes between failures in the Air Force version, and 25 minutes in the Marine Corps version, known as STOVL, for short take off and vertical landing.
That will work out great in Combat. Make sure you are back before 2 hours when the next failure is expected. F*cken joke!
Moreover, the planes, along with the engines Pratt makes to power them, keep getting more expensive than planned.
WHAT???? How is that possible. Outsourcing makes things cheaper. That is what all the experts have been saying for 30 years. US Companies HAVE TO outsource to save money.
How is it possible that they outsourcing and prices are our still of control. Oh wait..... Maybe when you outsource to people who don't know what the f*ck they are doing it takes longer and costs more. How come the experts didn't think of that?
because the cost increase was more than 20 percent, the Pentagon was required to explain why and say "why the program shouldn't be canceled," Cancel it. At this point who cares. You are not employing Americans. These weapons can't win any of the 3 wars we are currently in. The US government is broke paying for all this useless crap. So f*ck it. Cancel it all. We can all learn Chinese and our futures will be bright.
And there are problems with the STOVL engine's performance, primarily in the lift fan and associated systems, that are critical to the short take-offs the Marines demand. The lift fan is made by Rolls Royce for Pratt. Warren Boley Jr., president of Pratt's military engines division, said the clutch plates used to engage the lift fan are rubbing when they shouldn't be, which is causing them to overheat.
Is Pratt not smart enough to make their own lift fan? They need to count on the geniuses from Rolls Royce, who in turn count on the genius engineers in India. http://www.rolls-royce.com/india/news/2010/100421_TCS.pdf
Everyone can see how well that is working out.
Yay Outsourcing.
