DISCONTINUED RES/KIT U72-0126 F-16 F100-PW closed exhaust nozzles for Tamiya Kit

The Pratt and Whitney F100 (other designation: Pratt and Whitney JTF22) is an American air two-flow jet engine with an afterburner from the Cold War and modern times. The first successful engine start-up took place in the 1970s. Serial production started in the same decade and is still going on. In the F100-PW-200 version, the motor is approx. 490 cm long with a minimum diameter of 88 cm. The weight of the "dry" engine is 1,467 kilograms. The thrust generated by the engine was 64.9 kN, and with the afterburner - 105.7 kN. The Pratt and Whitney F100 engine was created in connection with the USAF and US Navy's desire to jointly purchase a new engine for the F-15 Eagle and F-14 Tomcat aircraft. Finally, the F100 engine was used primarily on the F-15 Eagle and in many versions of the F-16 Fighting Falcon. Several versions of this engine were developed in the course of production, including: F100-PW-100 (basic version of the engine with 64.9 kN thrust without afterburner), F100-PW-200 (modified version of the PW-100 used on F-16 machines). ), F100-PW-220 (version with increased reliability and - probably - a much longer service life) or F100-PW-229 (version using the experience gained from working on the F119 engine with increased thrust, used on the F-15E and some F- 16 Fighting Falcon).
