Pratt & Whitney’s F100 fighter engine entered service in 1974 and continues in production today. The F100 engine family—which includes the PW-100, -200, -220 and -229 engines— has accumulated more than more than 21 million flight hours in service, as the engine series continues to provide air forces around the world superior performance, safety and reliability. The F100-PW-229 has reached more than 1.3 million flight hours. The record flight hours is unmatched by any other fighter aircraft engine. Variants of the Pratt & Whitney F100 engine are flown by the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy, U.S. Air National Guard, and 21 international customers. The F100 powers all U.S. F15s and the majority of F-15 and F-16s in worldwide service today. Of the more than 7,100 engines produced, 5,000 are still in service. The engine has won repeat as well as new international customers during recent F-16 campaigns in Greece, Israel, Korea, Singapore, Poland and most recently, Chile. The U.S. Air Force‘s F100-PW-220 and 229 powered F-16s have the lowest cumulative engine-related loss of aircraft (ERLOA) rate for any engine in its class. The most advanced model F100, the F100-PW-229, has recorded zero ERLOA in 15 years of service with the U.S. Air Force. The U.S. Air Force, with major support from Pratt & Whitney, manages the F100 fleet to a comprehensive Engine Life Management Plan, including the Aging Engine Initiative to maintain safety and reliability of operational fleets. For the past 30 years, the U.S. Air Force’s Component Improvement Program (CIP) has funded the development of significant reliability, maintenance and safety improvements for the F100. For the F100-PW-229, Pratt & Whitney recently introduced into production an advanced technology turbine that incorporates hot section technology utilized in the F119-powered F-22 Raptor, and a sixth generation Digital Electronic Engine Control (DEEC) that provides the capability for advanced engine health monitoring.
