    The carbon fiber composite fan cowl can contain a separated fan blade. GE provides the whole nacelle including the thrust reverser. [2] Developed with Safran, the slimline nacelle with clam-shell cowl openings reduce weight and drag. [13] Its TSFC is 8% lower than the competing BR725 of the Gulfstream 650, and over 10% better than the BR710. [2]

  3. Pratt & Whitney PW1000G - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pratt_&_Whitney_PW1000G

    The various models in the PW1000G family can generate 15,000 to 33,000 pounds-force (67 to 147 kilonewtons) of thrust. The engine is used on the A220, A320neo family, Embraer E-Jet E2 and the Russian Yakovlev MC-21 (although exports were stopped as part of the international sanctions during the Russian invasion of Ukraine ).

  4. Pratt & Whitney F119 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pratt_&_Whitney_F119

    The engine delivers thrust in the 35,000 lbf (156 kN) class and was designed for sustained supersonic flight without afterburners, or supercruise. Delivering almost 22% more thrust with 40% fewer parts than its F100 predecessor, the F119 allows the F-22 to achieve supercruise speeds of up to Mach 1.8.

  5. Ducted fan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ducted_fan

    The high-bypass turbofan engines used on many modern airliners is an example of a very successful and popular use of ducted fan design. The duct increases thrust efficiency by up to 90% in most cases [citation needed], in comparison to a similar-sized propeller in free air. Ducted fans are quieter, and offer good opportunities for thrust vectoring.

  6. General Electric F404 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Electric_F404

    The engine consists of a three-staged fan, seven axial stage compressor arrangement, single stage low and high pressure turbines, an augmentor, and produces maximum thrust of 16,000 lbf (71.2 kN) in the original F404-GE-400 model. The engine was designed with a higher priority on reliability than performance.

  7. Video game modding - Wikipedia

    A group of mod developers may join to form a "mod team". Doom (1993) was the first game to have a large modding community. [6] In exchange for the technical foundation to mod, id Software insisted that mods should only work with the retail version of the game (not the demo), which was respected by the modders and boosted Doom ' s sales.

    The Williams F107 (company designation WR19) is a small turbofan engine made by Williams International.The F107 was designed to propel cruise missiles.It has been used as the powerplant for the AGM-86 ALCM, and BGM-109 Tomahawk, as well as the experimental Kaman KSA-100 SAVER and Williams X-Jet flying platform.

  9. General Electric GE90 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Electric_GE90

    The higher-thrust variants, GE90-110B1 and -115B, have a different architecture from that of the earlier GE90 versions. General Electric incorporated an advanced larger diameter fan made from composite materials which enhanced thrust at low flight speeds. However, GE also needed to increase core power to improve net thrust at high flight speeds.
