The Pratt & Whitney F100 (company designation JTF22 [1]) is a low bypass afterburning turbofan engine. It was designed and manufactured by Pratt & Whitney to power the U.S. Air Force's "FX" initiative in 1965, which became the F-15 Eagle.

ENGINE DESCRIPTION The Pratt & Whitney F100-PW-100 engine (fig. 1) is an axial, mixed-flow, aug-mented, twin-spool, low-bypass-ratio turbofan. A single inlet is used for both the fan airflow and the engine core airflow. Airflow leaving the fan is separated into two flow streams: one stream passing through the engine core and the other stream ...

Pratt & Whitney’s F100 engines have powered the the F-15 for more than 50 years and the F100-PW-229 is fully capable of integrating with the F-15EX. The F100 has industry-leading safety, reliability, and performance, delivering superior capability to the warfighter.

The F100-PW-100 engine, currently installed on Air National Guard F-15 aircraft, is the earliest basic design production and configuration engine and also has significant operational...

Feb 24, 2021 · The F100-PW-229 is fully capable of integrating with the F-15EX, the newest variant of the USAF fighter that will replace the F-15C/D with advanced capabilities. Pratt & Whitney is stating its case for why the F100 engine is the best choice for the F-15EX.

Pratt & Whitney won a 1970 U.S. Air Force competition to design the engine for the service's next generation fighter, the F-15 Eagle. The F100-PW-100 first flew in July 1972 and entered service with the F-15A and B aircraft in 1974.

The F100 offers overall superior capability, and with predictable performance, it truly is a pilot’s engine. It is undefeated in combat with 165-0 Air-to-Air Combat Record for F100 powered F-15s and F-16s.

Jul 29, 2024 · The F100 jet engines have a track record of over 30,000,000 flight hours across 23 air forces globally. The F100's modularity reduces maintenance workload and supports futuristic applications like hypersonic flight.
