A snapshot of how new, multi-billion-dollar jet engine contracts for the USAF are set to shape the future of US air power.

The Pentagon has raised the ceiling for the Next Generation Adaptive Propulsion effort to $3.5bn for each of its two vendors.

GE has also received a similar funding ceiling ... According to Pratt and Whitney, its XA100-series engine is at least 25% more efficient than the F135 currently used on the F-35.

GE claimed its XA100 offered 20% more thrust and 30% greater range compared to the F-35’s P&W F135 powerplant. The USAF has since opted to pursue a core upgrade for the F-35’s F135 engine ...

Congress subsequently authorized additional funding for AETP. Like the XA100 and XA101, the XA102 and XA103 are known to be so-called adaptive cycle designs. What this means in broad strokes is that ...

The GE XA100 is designed with a three-stream adaptive cycle that can direct air to the bypass third stream to increase fuel efficiency and thereby cooling, or it can direct more flow to the core and ...
