 GE Aircraft Engines delivered the first F110-GE-132 engine to Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company to power the F-16C/D Block 60 for the United Arab Emirates Air Force and Air Defense. The engine, which can produce up to 32,500 pounds of thrust, is the highest thrust fighter engine developed for the F-16. F110 engines power the majority of F-16C/Ds worldwide. Lockheed Martin is scheduled to begin flight testing the new engine in March 2003 at Edwards AFB, California. Flight testing the F-16 Block 60 powered by the new engine is scheduled for late 2003 in Fort Worth, Texas. |
