Engine Overview
The F110-GE-100 was developed to provide greatly increased performance for later models of the F-16. The F110-GE-100 has demonstrated unrestricted throttle movement and stall-free operation in service, and has set the benchmark for single-engine fighter reliability and safety.
The U.S. Air Force opted in 1984 to purchase 120 F110 engines for its F-16C/D aircraft.
In addition, the F110-GE-400 was selected by the U.S. Navy to re-engine its existing F-14A fleet (transforming them into F-14Bs) in 1984. The U.S. Navy decided that the F110 would be be the production standard engine for new F-14D aircraft.
The F110-400, the Navy version of the F110, was delivered for the F-14A Plus re-engined fighter and the new F-14D Tomcat in 1987.
