The engine was given a United States military aircraft engine designation of YF102-LD-100. [ 1 ] : 190 Six YF102 engines were built for the YA-9. The 7,500 lbf (33 kN) thrust engines powered the A-9A prototypes for seven months of flight tests in 1972, recording 238 flights and 652 flight hours. [ 3 ]
