How much does an F135 engine cost?

P&W was awarded $1.95 billion to supply 99 F135s during the Lot 10 production phase, at an average cost per engine of around $19.7 million.

What is the most powerful fighter jet engine?

F135 engine
“The F-35 is the most powerful, the most advanced fighter jet in the world today. And it is powered by our F135 engine, which is the most powerful 5th generation engine available in the world today,” said Mark Buongiorno, Vice President of Pratt & Whitney’s F-35 Propulsion System.

How much does an F-35 engine weigh?

40,000 lbs.
With more than 40,000 lbs. of thrust, unmatched low-observable signature, world-class thermal management, and the most advanced integrated engine control system ever created, the F135 engine is the heartbeat of the F-35.

Why did F-35 Remove turkey?

Pentagon officials kicked Turkey, a NATO ally, out of the F-35 coalition because it bought the S-400 air defense system from Russia—a purchase the U.S. said puts American military information at risk. “The S-400 is incompatible with the F-35 and Turkey has been suspended from that program.”

Why is the Pratt and Whitney F135 engine so important?

The F135 engine delivers unparalleled value for the taxpayer, providing a generational leap in performance and reliability at an incremental cost over 4th generation engines commensurate with its world-class design attributes, high tech components, and 5th Generation enabling technologies.

What kind of bypass ratio does Pratt and Whitney F119 have?

The requirement for the ATF to supercruise, or fly supersonic without afterburners, results in a very low bypass ratio of 0.3 for the F119-PW-100 in order to achieve high specific thrust. The F119 has dual-redundant full authority digital engine control ( FADEC ).

What is the cruise speed of a Pratt and Whitney F35?

The transfer of approximately 1⁄3 of the power available for hot nozzle thrust to the lift fan reduces the temperature and velocity of the rear lift jet impinging on the ground. The F-35 can achieve a limited 100% throttle cruise without afterburners of Mach 1.2 for 150 miles.

What does the F135 engine do for the F-35?

Our F135 Enhanced Engine Packages (EEP) incorporate next-generation adaptive propulsion technologies that offer increased thrust and fuel efficiency, as well as power and thermal management system capacity to keep the F-35 weapon system a step ahead.
