The military has grounded fleet of 10 F-35s while Lockheed Martin looks into a dual generator failure and an oil leak that occurred during a flight last week at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif. The incident came just as military officials were reporting significant progress on the program after a major restructuring that slowed development to allow more flight testing before the plane goes into production.
