The engine consists of a three-staged fan, seven axial stage compressor arrangement, single stage low and high pressure turbines, an augmentor, and produces maximum thrust of 16,000 lbf (71.2 kN) in the original F404-GE-400 model. The engine was designed with a higher priority on reliability than performance.
The Embraer E-Jet E2 family is a series of four-abreast narrow-body airliners designed and produced by the Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer. The twinjet is an incremental development of the original E-Jet family , adopting the more fuel-efficient Pratt & Whitney PW1900G , a geared turbofan engine.
Booster 3 completed stacking in the High Bay on June 29, 2021, [16] and moved to the test stand. [17] A cryogenic proof test was completed on July 13, [18] [19] followed by a static fire test on July 19. BN3/Booster 3 was partially scrapped on August 15, while the liquid oxygen (LOX) tank remained welded to the Test Stand until January 13, 2022 ...
JATO (acronym for jet-assisted take-off) is a type of assisted take-off for helping overloaded aircraft into the air by providing additional thrust in the form of small rockets. The term JATO is used interchangeably with the (more specific) term RATO , for rocket-assisted take-off (or, in RAF parlance, RATOG , for rocket-assisted take-off gear ).
LF511D: An 11,000 lbf thrust (49 kN) turbofan with a 43 in diameter (1.09 m) wide-chord fan, a three-stage power turbine, and a three-stage low-pressure booster compressor [7] LF512 / LF514: Additional turbofan engines of 12,000–14,000 lbf (53–62 kN) thrust, possibly for Avro 's proposed 120-seat RJX twin airliner or for a stretched version ...
The General Electric XA102 is an American adaptive cycle engine demonstrator being developed by General Electric (GE). It is competing with the Pratt & Whitney XA103 as the powerplant for the United States Air Force's sixth generation fighter program, the Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD).
Research into the next generation of commercial jet engines, high-bypass ratio turbofans in the "10-ton" (20,000 lbf; 89 kN) thrust class, began in the late 1960s. Snecma (now Safran), who had mostly built military engines previously, was the first company to seek entrance into the market by searching for a partner with commercial experience to design and build an engine in this class.
