Pratt & Whitney’s advanced technology F119 turbofan engine powers the U.S. Air Force’s 5th generation air dominance fighter, the F-22 Raptor. More than 260 F119 production engines have been delivered to the air force. The F-22 Raptor maintains a record of no engine related incidents leading to the loss of aircraft. Keys to the Raptor’s ability to achieve its objectives are the maturity, affordability, performance and supportability of its Pratt & Whitney F119 twin-engine propulsion system. Pratt & Whitney personnel and shop support are sustaining F119 engines in operation at four U.S. Air Force Bases: Edwards AFB, California, Nellis AFB, Nevada, Tyndall AFB, Florida and Langley AFB, Virginia. The F-22 achieved Initial Operational Capability (IOC) on 15 December 2005 with F-22s assigned to the 1st Fighter Wing at Langley. This declaration demonstrates that the F-22 has completed its development testing and is ready for actual combat. Preparations to stand-up Raptor operations at Elmendorf AFB in Alaska are well underway. The F-22 is the only fighter in the world that can provide the air dominance necessary to ensure freedom of maneuverability for U.S. and allied ground, air, and naval forces in contingency and combat operations. The unique design of the F119 combines stealth technologies and vectored thrust with high thrust-to-weight performance to provide the F22 unprecedented maneuverability and survivability. Supercruise, the ability to operate supersonically without afterburning, gives the Raptor exceptional combat performance without compromising mission range. The F119 engine’s proven propulsion concepts, designs, software architectures and manufacturing technologies have been incorporated into Pratt & Whitney’s F135 engine for Lockheed Martin’s F-35 Lightning II, Joint Strike Fighter. Use of the common engine core has saved the government millions of dollars in development costs; additionally, advances made to the F135 engine will be transitioned back to the F119 engine program. This approach keeps both propulsion systems state-of-the-art, and provides rugged and reliable performance for air force and allied combat units.
