Also makes the 'you dont need a twin engined aircraft anymore because modern engineering is so advanced!' argument a little awkward.
It's a slightly different issue in this case. An F-35 powered by two F135 engines would just have double the potential for an engine failure, so paradoxically a single-engined F-35 actually is actually less likely to go tech right now...
