Senate Sleuth Challenges Air Force Warplane Cost Estimate
A Senate subcommittee claims Secretary Zuckert understated potential government savings by 29.9 million on the Boeing versus General Dynamics TFX contract. The panel probes possible favoritism as it weighs single aircraft system savings versus separate Air Force and Navy designs amid conflicting figures. The hearing cites a Boeing benefit of 426.9 million versus 397 million stated by Zuckert, widening the discrepancy to about 29.9 million.
