P&W F100: The Preferred Engine for Today and Tomorrow Presence in the Region

“P&W” maintains a presence in the Middle East and North Africa region supporting three maintenance depots and close to 700 engines. 
The F100 engine is a global leader in its category as it has surpassed 30 million flight hours, nearly three times as many hours as other fourth-generation fighter engines.

The F100 engine models, namely F100-PW-220 and F100-PW-229, continue to sustain world-class levels in terms of safety, reliability and performance. The F100-PW-229 is considered the safest fighter engine in single-engine applications, based on a 0.00 cumulative Class A mishap rate for the -229 on USAF F-16s.
Last year, the company celebrated the 50th anniversary of the F100 engine powering the F-15’s first flight, while more than 3,500 F100 engines continue to deliver reliable performance to 23 air forces around the world, and it reduces the jet propulsion risk in any new program because of its mature and unmatched record in terms of safety and reliability.
The ability to rely on field-proven and reliable propulsion systems like the F100 allows “P&W” to deliver the propulsion systems needed by their customers and partners in less time and for a fraction of the cost of developing a new engine.
The F100 engine powers all current operational U.S. Air Force F-15 fighters and half of the USAF's F-16 fleet. It was also the first in its class to utilize a full-authority digital electronic engine control that transformed the pilot throttle control experience, and the first to offer 6,000 total accumulated cycles (TAC), which afforded a significant improvement in reliability.
 “P&W” is the only engine manufacturer in the Western world that has operational fifth-generation engines, and the company has incorporated these advanced technologies into the F100 product (namely, thermal coatings, turbine cooling, PHM Prognostics and Engine Health Management) to ensure continuous improvement and optimum performance for the global F100 fleet.
The F100 family of engines offers a wide scale of thrust options ranging from 18,000 to 29,000 pounds, and this scale reflects both augmented and non-augmented configurations.
“P&W” supports its worldwide F100 engine fleet through Maintenance and Fleet Management Programs, and an unparalleled network of in-country field service representatives operating through dedicated logistics program offices.
 

“P&W” has demonstrated successful integration of F100 products into UAVs and other unique applications. The design of this engine (core flow) makes the engine adaptable to support the requirements of advanced airframe and weapons systems in terms of power thermal management and mechanical power extraction.
The F100 engine has been chosen as part of the propulsion solution to power the Hermeus Darkhorse air vehicle, and it reduces the risk of propulsion in any such new program due to its mature and impeccable safety and reliability record.
“P&W” is uniquely qualified to integrate the F100 onto the Hermeus Darkhorse platform, as it is an industry leader in the low-risk integration of its advanced propulsion systems onto military platforms, most notably the C-17, KC-46 and KC-390 aircraft. The company also has unique experience in high-Mach airframe applications such as the SR-71 with the P&W J58 engines and more recent propulsion systems such as the rotating detonation engine coupled with the company’s expertise in agile digital development. The F100’s design approach of modularity enables streamlined adaptation for integration into advanced applications such as the Hermeus platform.
