Pratt & Whitney F100

The Pratt & Whitney F100 (company designation JTF22^[1]) is an afterburning turbofan engine 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 the fan upscaled for the U.S. Navy's F-14 Tomcat, although the F401 was later abandoned due to costs and reliability issues. The F100 would also power the F-16 Fighting Falcon for the Air Force's Lightweight Fighter (LWF) program.
