A Unit Recurring Flyaway (URF) Cost inc. engine = $78.7 M
(This is close enough to the 2008 yr $'s of $75m DMO estimate for me, although the Aussie average URF will be slightly less because we are buying in specific years. As per page 39 and 54 (RF/60=URF) for year 2018, the F-35A is $72.5 M URF in BY2012$.)
