The JSF-F120 engine has successfully completed several component rig tests, and preparations are underway to run a core engine this summer. The Joint Strike Fighter Engine Team consists of GE Aircraft Engines in Cincinnati, Allison Advanced Development in Indianapolis, Rolls-Royce in Bristol, England, and Philips Machinefabrieken of the Netherlands. It is working under a $440 million Phase 3 contract from the U.S. government covering engine development activities through September 2004. This includes component and subsystem testing leading to full JSF engine testing for the airframer that wins the competition. The engine will be tested in the various aircraft variants-short takeoff and landing, conventional takeoff, and a carrier-capable model. AADC and GE are jointly developing a coupled turbine system for the JSF-F120 powerplant. It consists of an integrated, counter-rotating high- and low-pressure turbine. Rolls Royce is providing an increased-flow, three-stage, long-chord hollow titanium blisk fan.
