In 2010 the government decided it would not order the Short Take Off, Vertical Landing variant of the Joint Strike Fighter, also known as the F-35.
David Cameron argued another version of the plane was more suitable.
But the defence secretary, understood to back the original choice, is thought to have met the PM after costs rose.
The decision could have a major impact on BAE Systems, which is involved in the F-35's development.
