The Republic of Korea Air Force (ROKAF) has received the first of the six F100-229 engine enhancement package (EEP) engines for installation on the air force’s F-15 aircraft.
The F100-PW-229 EEP engine, the latest evolution of the F100 fighter aircraft engines, has been funded and qualified by the US Air Force to 6,000-cycle capability.

The EEP engine developed by Pratt & Whitney increases the engine depot inspection interval from seven years to ten years, providing up to a 30% life-cycle cost reduction over the life of the engine.
With a predicted 25% reduction in the in-flight shutdown rate, the EEP will offer safety benefits.
The propulsion system, equipped with latest technologies, provides advanced power for F-15 and F-16 fighter aircraft around the world.
