In 2001, with the Lockheed Martin X-35 selected as the winner of the JSF competition to become the F-35, Pratt & Whitney's F119-JSF became the F135, while the alternate GE/RR YF120-FX engine was designated F136. On 21 July 2004, the F136 began full engine runs at GE's facility in Evendale, Ohio. The engine ran for over an hour during two ...
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 U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) awarded General Electric and Rolls-Royce a $2.1 billion contract to jointly develop the F136 engine as an alternative to the F135. The LiftSystem was designed to be used with either engine. [3] Following termination of government funding GE and Rolls-Royce terminated further development of the engine in 2011 ...
Technology from the YF120 has been applied to subsequent GE designs; in the 1990s, GE, Allison Engine Company, and Rolls-Royce (Allison was acquired by Rolls-Royce in 1995) began jointly developing the F136 engine for the Joint Strike Fighter program, which resulted in Lockheed Martin being selected to develop and produce the F-35 Lightning II.
The F136, commonly known as Ferrari-Maserati engine, is a family of 90° V8 petrol engines jointly developed by Ferrari and Maserati [1] and produced by Ferrari; these engines displace between 4.2 L and 4.7 L, and produce between 390 PS (287 kW; 385 hp) and 605 PS (445 kW; 597 hp).
Greece formally approved an offer to buy 20 F-35 Joint Strike Fighters from the United States as part of a major defense overhaul, government officials said Thursday. “The letter of acceptance ...
The JSF program was the result of the merger of the Common Affordable Lightweight Fighter (CALF) and Joint Advanced Strike Technology (JAST) projects. [4] [5] The merged project continued under the JAST name until the engineering, manufacturing and development (EMD) phase, during which the project became the Joint Strike Fighter.
The F119 is also the basis for the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) propulsion system, with variants powering both the Boeing X-32 and Lockheed Martin X-35 concept demonstrators. The X-35 won the JSF competition and the production Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II is powered by an F119 derivative, the Pratt & Whitney F135 which produces up to 43,000 ...
