The IEDP was created to be a competitive engine design/demonstration phase followed with a down select to one winning engine design and development program. General Electric and Pratt & Whitney were placed on contract for an approximately 18-month program with goals to improve thrust and reduce weight to achieve a thrust-to-weight ratio of 8 ...
The development of the GBA was led by Cosworth's Chief Race Engine Designer Geoff Goddard with Duckworth helping to design the engine (though Duckworth would be publicly credited with the engine's design). The first drawings were made in December 1984, and the first prototype ran on the test bench on August 1, 1985.
