GE Aerospace and Pratt & Whitney have high-tech adaptive engines in development that will be more efficient and perform ...

The engine’s expanded budget indicates progress to secure the world’s first-ever sixth-generation fighter is being made. The U.S. Air Force’s Next-Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) program is ...

Work continues on the engines that might one day power the Next Generation Air Dominance fighter, though the fate of NGAD itself is still undetermined.

Last week, the engine designs of GE Aerospace and RTX’s Pratt & Whitney for the NGAD cleared the hurdle of the Air Force’s “Detailed Design Reviews.” This is a considerable development in ...

In September 2020, the Air Force revealed the NGAD, a new fighter jet. Details remain sparse, but a look at the plane's most advanced adversaries hint at its future capabilities.

The engine, the world’s first ever flight-weight, three-stream adaptive cycle engine, is intended to be used both by the F-35 and the future NGAD design and combines key innovations to deliver a ...

While the engine and other systems intended for NGAD represented a technological leap forward, Hinote said, it was not out of reach from what he saw before he retired last year.

NGAD’s twin-engine design, incorporating high-efficiency engines and lightweight materials, will enable the fighter to perform more effectively in the vast distances of the Western Pacific.

But ultimately, it chose Pratt & Whitney’s lower-risk and much cheaper F135 Engine Core Upgrade. That left NGAD to shoulder the entire burden of developing production-ready adaptive-cycle ...

U.S. President Donald Trump's vision of a new, twin-engine version of Lockheed Martin's F-35 fighter jet may need to be scaled back due to cost and engineering realities, ... (NGAD), now named the ...
