GE’s F110 engine: Integrated. Certified. Delivered.
F110-GE-129: Fully committed to the Advanced F-15 since Day One
The advanced F-15EX Eagle II requires trusted and qualified engines now to keep up with evolving global mission needs. Only GE’s F110 has already been delivered to the U.S. Air Force, eliminating the risk of development time and cost. GE has the only certified and in-production engine that powers every Advanced F-15 in service today, including the F-15EX.
Selected to accelerate the Advanced F-15 with enhanced technology
GE’s advanced F110 engine has been significantly improved to adapt to the unique demands of the F-15EX. New increased airflow, jet engine efficiency, a three-stage chord blisk fan and an advanced radial augmentor reduce complexity, improve maintainability and increase the life span of parts. Built with capability in reserve, the F-110 engine can adapt to changing global threats and mission needs for decades to come.
