F-136?

Engines / LO / ORAC / N-a-B

Dumb question time - when the F136 was defunded, what was the status of the programme, and how much would be required to restart it and get the engine certified? I wonder partly as idle speculation, but also because it seems to me that the programme would benefit from engine competition (much as the F100 / F110 competitions have spurred advances) and that if Dave-B were to be binned, then having a nice payoff for RR / UK Plc in the form of F136 back in play could be a win-win deal for all concerned.

Thoughts pls!
