Adaptive Versatile Engine Technology
The Adaptive Versatile Engine Technology (ADVENT) program was an aircraft engine development program run by the United States Air Force with the goal of developing an efficient adaptive cycle, or variable cycle engine for next generation military aircraft; initial demonstrators were expected to be in the 20,000 lbf (89 kN) thrust class. In 2012 the program was succeeded by the Adaptive Engine Technology Demonstrator (AETD) program; work continued in 2016 under the Adaptive Engine Transition Program (AETP), which focused on developing and testing a 45,000 lbf (200 kN) thrust class adaptive cycle engine for potential F-35 re-engining. A subsequent Next Generation Adaptive Propulsion (NGAP) program was also launched for a related 35,000–40,000 lbf (156–178 kN) thrust class engine to power the Next Generation Air Dominance crewed fighter aircraft. Objective The objective of ADVENT is to develop an engine that is optimized for several design point ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
GE Aviation
General Electric Company, doing business as GE Aerospace, is an American aircraft engine supplier that is headquartered in Evendale, Ohio, outside Cincinnati. It is the legal successor to the original General Electric Company founded in 1892, which split into three separate companies between November 2021 and April 2024, adopting the trade name GE Aerospace after divesting its GE HealthCare, healthcare and GE Vernova, energy divisions. GE Aerospace both manufactures engines under its name and partners with other manufacturers to produce engines. CFM International, the world's leading supplier of aircraft engines and GE's most successful partnership, is a 50/50 joint venture with the French company Safran Aircraft Engines. As of 2020, CFM International holds 39% of the world's commercial aircraft engine market share (while GE Aerospace itself holds a further 14%). GE Aerospace's main competitors in the engine market are Pratt & Whitney and Rolls-Royce Holdings, Rolls-Royce. The d ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Pratt & Whitney XA101
The Pratt & Whitney XA101 is an American adaptive cycle engine demonstrator being developed by Pratt & Whitney for the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II and form the technological foundation for the company's XA103 propulsion system for the United States Air Force's sixth generation fighter program, the Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD). The three-stream adaptive cycle design can direct air to the bypass third stream for increased fuel efficiency and cooling or to the core and fan streams for additional thrust and performance. The thrust class engine is expected to be significantly more powerful and efficient than existing low-bypass turbofans. Development The U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy began pursuing the adaptive cycle engine concept in 2007 with the Adaptive Versatile Engine Technology (ADVENT) program, a part of the larger Versatile Affordable Advanced Turbine Engines (VAATE) program. While not involved with ADVENT, Pratt & Whitney was selected alongside General El ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Improved Turbine Engine Program
The Improved Turbine Engine Program (ITEP), formerly the Advanced Affordable Turbine Engine (AATE) program, is a United States Army project to develop a General Electric T700 replacement for the UH-60 Black Hawk and AH-64 Apache, improving fuel consumption, power, durability and cost. Honeywell and Pratt & Whitney formed the ATEC joint venture to develop the T900, while GE Aviation builds the T901. In February 2019, the US Army selected the GE T901 as the winner of the program. History In December 2006, the U.S. Army's Aviation Applied Technology Directorate (AATD) solicited proposals for the 3000 shp ''Advanced Affordable Turbine Engine'' (AATE) free-turbine turboshaft to replace the GE T700 that currently power the UH-60 Black Hawk and AH-64 Apache rotorcraft, leveraging the DoD/NASA/ DOE VAATE program. Refitting the existing fleet of twin-engine Black Hawks and Apaches would require a total of 6,215 engines, including spares. Any aircraft that currently uses the T700 ...

Pratt & Whitney XA103
The Pratt & Whitney XA103 is an American adaptive cycle engine demonstrator being developed by Pratt & Whitney. It is competing with the General Electric XA102 as the powerplant for the United States Air Force's sixth generation fighter program, the Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD). The three-stream adaptive cycle design can direct air to the bypass third stream for increased fuel efficiency and cooling or to the core and fan streams for additional thrust and performance. The engine thrust has not been disclosed, although it is speculated by aviation reporters to be in the thrust class. Development The U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy began pursuing adaptive cycle engine in 2007 with the Adaptive Versatile Engine Technology (ADVENT) program, a part of the larger Versatile Affordable Advanced Turbine Engines (VAATE) program.

F/A-XX Program
F/A-XX is a development and acquisition program for a future sixth-generation strike fighter to replace the United States Navy's F/A-18E/F Super Hornet and complement the F-35C beginning in the 2030s. A requirement was first identified in June 2008. The F/A-XX program is distinct from the U.S. Air Force's Next Generation Air Dominance, NGAD sixth-generation fighter program. In July 2025, it was announced that the F/A-XX program received $76 million in funding for fiscal year 2026 while the Boeing F-47 received $3.4 billion in funding. Requirements Strike fighter with air superiority capabilities In April 2012, the Navy issued a formal request for information for the F/A-XX. It calls for a Multirole combat aircraft, multirole strike fighter to initially complement and eventually supersede the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet and EA-18G Growler aircraft in the 2030s, while complementing the F-35C Lightning II and UCLASS unmanned aircraft, that can operate in anti-access/area denial ...
