The F-16C/D Block 30/32s were the first to be built with the common engine bay, able to accept the existing F100-200/220 engine (Block 32) or the F110-100 (Block 30). A non-afterburning variant, the F100-PW-220U powers the Northrop Grumman X-47B UCAV. The -100 and -200 series engines could be upgraded to become equivalent to -220 specifications ...
The Pratt & Whitney F135 is an afterburning turbofan developed for the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II, a single-engine strike fighter.It has two variants; a Conventional Take-Off and Landing variant used in the F-35A and F-35C, and a two-cycle Short Take-Off Vertical Landing variant used in the F-35B that includes a forward lift fan.

The General Electric F110 is an afterburning turbofan jet engine produced by GE Aerospace (formerly GE Aviation). It was derived from the General Electric F101 as an alternative engine to the Pratt & Whitney F100 for powering tactical fighter aircraft, with the F-16C Fighting Falcon and F-14A+/B Tomcat being the initial platforms; the F110 would eventually power new F-15 Eagle variants as well.
F-35A weighs 13.3t,and max thrust of F135 is 19.5t. The thrust-to-weight ratio of Al-41 is 8.8 and that of F135 is just 6.7 under the current entries. But the thrust-to-weight ratio of Su-35 is JUST 2×14÷19≈1.47，and that of F-35A is 1×19.5÷13.3≈1.47. This may be caused by the difference in engine weight standards between the two sides.
General Electric and Pratt & Whitney are fighting over the next F-35 engine. It's the most expensive defense program in history, so the stakes are high.
The North American F-100 Super Sabre is an American supersonic jet fighter aircraft designed and produced by the aircraft manufacturer North American Aviation.The first of the Century Series of American jet fighters, it was the first United States Air Force (USAF) fighter capable of supersonic speed in level flight.

Delivering almost 22% more thrust with 40% fewer parts than its F100 predecessor, the F119 allows the F-22 to achieve supercruise speeds of up to Mach 1.8. [1] [2] The F119's nozzles incorporate thrust vectoring that enable them to direct the engine thrust ±20° in the pitch axis to give the F-22 enhanced maneuverability.
