GE Aerospace as well as Pratt & Whitney — the latter makes the F-35′s current F135 engine — developed their own adaptive engines and are continuing to work on NGAP.

NGAP Prototype, referred to as XA103 engine, meant for the Next Generation Air Dominance program, is expected to start ground testing in the late 2020s.

The NGAD engines will almost certainly be bigger than the F35 engine. This will make it easier to use the many years of AETP engine work in the new fighter. Pratt & Whitney are in the prototyping ...

Why cutting-edge NGAP engines are in the crosshairs. It seems unlikely that NGAD could achieve price parity with Lockheed’s mass-produced F-35 as Kendall suggested in his interview.

Pratt & Whitney, an RTX (NYSE: RTX) business, completed the detailed design review of its Next-Generation Adaptive Propulsion (NGAP) offering with the U.S. Air Force. Pratt & Whitney presented ...

GE said in May 2024 that its NGAP engine, the XA102, finished a major design review in December 2023 and was moving towards a prototype engine test.

Engines Cleared Hot . The two aerospace companies announced that their engine designs passed the Air Force’s requirements for the Next-Generation Adaptive Propulsion (NGAP) program that seeks to ...

Little is known about two prototype engines, other than their names. P&W has designated its NGAP prototype XA103, while GE dubs its design XA102.
