GE’s F414 engine went into service in 1998 and has flown more than 4.6 million flight hours with more than 1,750 engines delivered.
The fixed-price contract provides procurement funding for the Lot 20 and Lot 21 full-rate production of 28 F414-GE-400 engines. T700-GE-701C The T700-GE-701C is a more powerful version of the T700-GE-700 and a follow on of the T700-GE-701 (these engines are no longer in production). In addition to the KF-X, the F414 powers Boeing’s F/A-18E/F Super Hornet and EA-18G Growler, Saab’s JAS 39E/F Gripen, India’s Tejas Mark 2, and Lockheed Martin and NASA’s X-59 Quiet Supersonic Transport. T700 engines currently power 25 types of civil and military helicopters as well as fixed-wing civil transport aircraft, military transport aircraft, and special-mission aircraft. As reported by DefenseNews, the U.S. Navy has awarded to General Electric (GE) a $114.8 million contract aimed to install new engines on the service F/A-18 Super Hornet and EA-18G Growler aircraft.. GE’s F414 engine went into service in 1998 and has flown more than 4.6 million flight hours with more than 1,750 engines delivered.
The new engine has increased thrust, an improved thrust-to-weight ratio of 9:1 and a 3- to 4-percent cruise-specific fuel consumption improvement over the F404-GE-400 engine.
