New XA100 engine of the F-35 combat jet passes its last big test
Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 09/19/2022 - 16:00in Military
Adaptive cycle engines are about to become a reality, as the General Electric Next-Gen XA100 combat jet engine passed its last major test.
According to the General Electric XA100, the jet fighter engine successfully completed its final and most rigorous tests in August at Arnold Air Base, Tennessee.
"Designing a jet engine is an incredibly exciting experience," says David Tweedie, vice president and general manager of advanced products at Edison Works at GE. "There is no room for error literally," which is why Tweedie is so excited about the approval of GE's new XA100 in its final and most rigorous test - held in August at Arnold Air Base in Tennessee - and what this means for the future of U.S. national security.
The GE XA100 adaptive cycle engine was designed, built and tested through the U.S. Air Force's Adaptive Motor Transition Program (AETP), the XA100 represents a radical change in propulsion that maximizes the capabilities of the F-35A and F-35C in the coming decades.
The XA100 is an "adaptive cycle" engine, designed for maximum efficiency in subsonic, transonic and supersonic flight speeds. Being designed to seamlessly and automatically pass high-propulsion events - think of advanced takeoff and air combat maneuvers - to the high efficiency mode, the XA100 is a true super jet. In addition, the XA100 exhibits high fuel efficiency on long-distance flights, which, of course, is not something for which fighters are traditionally known. But Tweedie says this is about to change.
"Many thought that the jet engine was a mature technology, which could not be improved," says Tweedie, "but the Edison Works team here knew that there was a next level." Designed for future use and retrofit in Lockheed Martin's F-35 - the stealth multifunctional combat aircraft that serves as the cornerstone of the U.S. fighter fleet - the XA100 is the answer to a very important question that the U.S. military asked GE in 2016: How can we guarantee American air superiority for the next generation?
GE's AETP offer, called XA100, met the original request of the U.S. Air Force: 25% better fuel efficiency, twice the thermal management capacity and at least 10% more thrust. Hester, who now provides consulting for GE, notes that the three XA100 test campaigns - including one currently underway in the U.S. Air Force's Arnold Engineering Development Complex (AEDC) - demonstrated this generational leap in capacity.
The Air Force's Adaptive Engine Transition Program (AETP) began in 2016 with this exact scenario in mind. General Electric (GE) and Pratt & Whitney are testing engines in this program with adaptive cycle engines that generate more power when you need it and then adapt for greater efficiency during the cruise to extend the range of the jet.
AETP engines, designed as replacement engines for the F-35A, also provide a significant leap in cooling capacity. This cooling is essential to support the imminent needs of the Block IV of the F-35 and the ability to grow in the next updates.

Where Rubber Meets the Runway: Navigating the Aircraft Wheels Market 🛫🔧
Ever wondered what keeps those colossal planes cruising down the runway with grace and precision? Let's take a closer look at the Aircraft Wheels Market, where rubber meets the runway, and safety takes center stage. 🛫🔧
🔘 Bearing the Load: Aircraft wheels play a pivotal role, supporting the entire weight of an aircraft during takeoff, landing, and taxiing. Their strength and reliability are paramount.
🌟 Precision Engineering: These wheels are not just rubber and metal; they're a masterpiece of engineering. They must withstand extreme forces, ensuring every landing is a safe one.
🌎 Global Reach: The Aircraft Wheels Market is a global industry, supplying wheels for a vast array of aircraft worldwide. It's a cornerstone of the global aviation network.
✈️ Safety in Every Turn: Each tire tread and wheel assembly is meticulously inspected, maintained, and tested to ensure the safety of every passenger and crew member on board.
The Aircraft Wheels Market may not be in the limelight, but its role in ensuring the safety of our air travel is undeniable. Let's tip our hats to these unsung heroes that keep our skies safe. 🌍✈️🛠️ #AircraftWheels #AviationEngineering #SafeLandings
World’s largest all-electric aircraft set for first flight. The Cessna Caravan, retrofitted with an electric engine, is expected to fly for 20-30 minutes over Washington state in the US. The plane can carry nine passengers but a test pilot will undertake the inaugural flight alone, cruising at a speed of 114mph (183km/h). The engine maker, magniX, hopes the aircraft could enter commercial service by the end of 2021 and have a range of 100 miles.
