Adaptive cycle engines are specially designed to alternate between efficiency and raw power—extending an aircraft’s range without compromising on speed during engagements. The modern fighter jet is ...
Adaptive cycle engines combine the high-bypass efficiency of subsonic turbofans with the high-thrust capability of low-bypass systems by varying their internal airflow paths and pressure ratios in ...
The US Air Force is funding development of adaptive-cycle turbofans under the Next Generation Adaptive Propulsion programme. GE Aerospace and Pratt & Whitney (P&W) have advanced their designs for ...
The added bypass stream is highlighted in blue in the XA100 (top), a forerunner of GE’s XA102. Pratt & Whitney’s XA103 (bottom)—sized for the Boeing F-47—is slightly smaller than its XA101 predecessor ...
