The F100-PW-229 engine will provide the air force with a lower total cost of ownership, whilst increasing the engine depot inspection interval from seven to ten years and providing 30% lifecycle cost reductions over the life of the engine.
The EEP will also reduce the predicted in-flight shutdown rate by about 25%.
Pratt & Whitney will begin delivery of F100-PW-229 EEP engines in 2011.
