Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Northrup Grumman are going to develop an advanced engine? No way in hell. Who are they going to partner with? Rolls Royce? Asea Brown Boveri?

Just make sure their diversity and racial hiring standards meet the woke guidelines.

Since when have Boing [SIC], Loughead or Northrop built engines?

Tough to make a sometimes-efficient / sometimes-full power engine.

They've been looking at combined-cycle engines with dual-fuel and/or combined turbojet/ramjet engine for decades.

I was very involved in the F-35A rollout for the Air Force. It was enlightening how many other electronic, techno, avionics, and security firms were wrapped up in Lockheed Martins program. A new generation fighter will take a dozen years to come on-line.
