	General Electric F101 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The General Electric F101 afterburning turbofan powers the B-1B Lancer strategic bomber fleet of the USAF.
		The F101 was developed specifically for the Advanced Manned Strategic Aircraft, which became the B-1A.
		The B-1A was officially cancelled in 1977, however as well as the continued flight test program General Electric was awarded a contract to further develop their F101-GE-102 engines.

		The reason given for the selection of the General Dynamics proposal was its promised greater degree of commonality and its more realistic approach to the cost problem.
		Since General Dynamics lacked any experience with carrier-based fighters, it teamed with Grumman for the integration of the naval electronics package and Grumman was to assemble and test the entire F-111B aircraft.

		The F101 engine was originally developed for the Advanced Manned Strategic Aircraft program, which became the B-1 strategic bomber.
		Utilizing the same core design as the F101, the F110 and F118 engine derivatives were created by adding new low pressure systems to tailor engine performance to the desired aircraft application.
		Rated in the 30,000 pound thrust class, the F101 was the first GE-produced turbofan with an augmentor.

		Accordingly, the B-1A (of which four prototypes were built, the first taking to the air on December 23, 1974) featured a long, slim fuselage blended with a variable-geometry wing with a maximum sweep of 67 degrees.
		The four F101 turbofan engines were paired in underwing pods, with plans calling for each engine to have a variable inlet.
		This feature was subsequently abandoned when the B-1's mission changed to a low-level high-subsonic profile, a task allocated to the production B-1B of which 100 were built.

	F-16.net :: The Ultimate F-16 Reference
		In search of new customers for its F101 turbofan engine, the General Electric company reworked the engine for a fighter aircraft under the Derivative Fighter Engine (DFE) program, a joint USAF/Navy program to explore alternative powerplants to the Pratt and Whitney F100 turbofan in the F-16 and for the TF30 turbofan in the F-14 Tomcat.
		The first FSD F-16A (#75-0745) was fitted with the new F101X DFE engine and flew for the first time on December 19, 1980.
		In the event, the F101 engine was not adopted for the F-16, and the F-16 remained powered exclusively by the Pratt and Whitney F100 turbofan for another few years until the advent of the General Electric F110 turbofan, which was a development of the F101X DFE.

		General Electric's story begins before 1890 when Thomas Edison organized his various businesses into the Edison General Electric Company.
		Because of an expertise in power generating gas-turbines, the company was approached by the U.S. Army first in 1917 to develop turbochargers, then again in the 1940's to develop jet engines.
		GE got back into the turbojet business with the excellent J47 and has been one of the top aircraft engine companies since.

		As the studies began, it became obvious that application of the variable-sweep wing concept developed at Langley to the candidate bomber configurations was extremely beneficial.
		The studies were directed at two objectives: the reduction of aerodynamic drag caused by the relatively large over-wing fairing and the potential application of supercritical wing aerodynamics.
		Although the B-1B retained the same general geometrical shape of the B-1A, the shift in emphasis on penetration of highly defended targets resulted in modifications to the more crucial aircraft systems, especially defensive systems.

		The General Electric engine was given another chance due to the wider state of the US aero engine industry.
		The F101-X was derived from two main sources, the core came from the F101, the powerplant used in the B-1 bomber, while the fan and augmentor came from the F404, although they were scaled up for the F101-X. The F404 also powers the F/A-18 Hornet and is still under development for the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet.
		This means that when they are dropped back into their flush position they generate lift instantaneously, without the need for an attitude c hange.
