F124 TURBOFAN ENGINE
Description
The F124 turbofan engine model APS2600A has what it takes to power today’s most advanced military jet trainers and light combat fighters – maximum performance, reliability, and availability. No wonder the F124 was Leonardo DRS’s choice to power the T-100 trainer, the company’s entry into the U.S. Air Force T-X trainer competition. The engine already flies on the Leonardo M346 Master, the most advanced military trainer in service, and on various other light fighters and unmanned vehicles. In all, the F124/F125 family of engines has more than 1 million operating hours to its credit. The F124 has the highest thrust-to-weight ratio in its class, thanks to a unique single-stage design that maximizes engine performance. The F124 generates plenty of power without a costly and complex afterburning system – dramatically reducing fuel consumption, saving wear and tear on vital engine parts, and driving superior levels of reliability and availability.
