GE Believes Time is Right for Transformational Engine
The XA100 is the world’s first flight-weight, three-stream, adaptive cycle engine to run, and could power F-35s by the end of the 2020s.
The F-35A will likely get a new adaptive cycle engine by the end of the decade. The GE XA100 powerplant might also make its way into the STOVL F-35B version, as operated by the RAF.
