Designed in response to today's budget environment, the F110 Service Life Extension Program (SLEP) can extend reliable F110 engine power through 2025 and provide substantial savings for air forces worldwide.

With proven key technology insertions from GE's commercial engine programs, SLEP upgrades critical components, including the combustor, high-pressure turbine, compressor and augmentor. These enhancements combine to extend the service life of the engine, reduce overall cost, increase reliability and improve safety.

The program is designed to provide a 20% improvement in non-recoverable in flight shut down (NRIFSD), 25% improvement in cost-per-flight-hour, and a 50% extension in engine phase inspections. The United States Air Force anticipates $1B+ in savings over the life of the program.

Renowned for its superior single-engine safety record, F110 engines currently power approximately 70% of the latest-generation Lockheed Martin F-16C/D aircraft and have been selected for use on the Boeing F-15.
