..So I wonder if the rub that caused the fire resulted from a manoeuvre inside or outside the engine design spec and so will the accountants I guess...
According to a 16 September article in The Washington Post, Air Force Lt. Gen. Bogdan was quoted as commenting: "..the F-35 had been through a series of maneuvers that were aggressive but all within the plane’s capability"

“That’s why we’re worried, if it were outside the envelope we’d say just don’t fly there but it was inside the envelope, so that’s why we have to fix it.”
