Pratt & Whitney F100
The Pratt & Whitney F100 (company designation JTF22) is a low bypass afterburning turbofan engine. It was designed and manufactured by Pratt & Whitney to power the U.S. Air Force's "FX" initiative in 1965, which became the F-15 Eagle. The engine was to be developed in tandem with the F401 which shares a similar core but with an upscaled fan for the U.S. Navy's F-14 Tomcat. The F401 was later abandoned due to costs and reliability issues. The F100 also powered the F-16 Fighting Falcon for the Air Force's Lightweight Fighter (LWF) program.
