GE Adaptive Cycle Engines Fit for the Fight

Dan McCormick and Mike Eisenmenger from GE’s adaptive cycle program discuss: limitations of fixed cycle engines compared to GE’s revolutionary three-stream, adaptive cycle engine (1:15-2:45); unprecedented performance achieved by GE and Air Force engineers on the technology’s first test (3:00-4:40); GE’s adaptive engine sized for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (5:00-7:00); using technologies developed for GE commercial engines to reduce adaptive risk and increase capability (7:00-10:45); how the adaptive engine could be deployed in the future, including options for F-35 flight demos (11:00-13:05).
