	General Electric Engines
		The J47 was developed by the General Electric Company from the earlier J35 engine and was first flight-tested in May 1948 as a replacement for the J35 used in the North American XF-86 "Sabre".
		General Electric Company (GE) was incorporated in 1892, when it acquired the assets of The Edison General Electric Company, founded by Thomas Alva Edison, and two other electric companies.
		In 1903, GE succeeded in installing the world's largest steam turbine generator in Chicago to generate electric power to replace a reciprocating engine that was ten times its size.

	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 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 General Electric F110 fighter engine is a derivative of the F101, designed using data from the F101-powered variant of the F-16 Fighting Falcon tested in the early 1980s.

	Primer
		The compressor, combustor, and turbine are the major components of the gas generator which is common to the turbojet, turbofan, turboprop, and turboshaft engines.
		The thrust of a turbojet is developed by compressing air in the inlet and compressor, mixing the air with fuel and burning in the combustor, and expanding the gas stream through the turbine and nozzle.
		Generally the turbofan engine is more economical and efficient than the turbojet engine in a limited realm of flight.

		F110 powered aircraft are currently stationed around the globe, and at sea aboard US Navy carriers.
		The F110 engines will be assembled through a licensing agreement with Samsung Techwin Co., LTD. GE will handle final assembly of the initial engines, then it will transition to Samsung, using full engine kits produced by GE.

		In February 1984, the USAF announced that General Electric had been awarded with 75 percent of the total contract for engines for the FY1985 run of F-16 fighters.
		The F110 was to be phased into the General Dynamics F-16 production line as soon as production engines became available, but it was agreed that individual USAF F-16 units would never operate a mix of engine types, the choice of engine being made at the wing level.
		Initially, the Navy announced that the candidates would be the General Electric F110 and the Pratt and Whitney PW1128 (a high-thrust derivative of the F-100) turbofans.

		The F-16C/Ds were Block 30 aircraft powered by the General Electric F110-GE-100 turbofan.
		The Greek F-16 are fitted with an identification light on the starboard side of the aircraft's nose and they have a braking parachute housed inside an enlarged fairing extending rearwards from the base of the vertical tail.
		Greece had been interested in buying the more powerful General Electric F110-GE-132 or P&W F100-PW-232 Enhanced Fighter Engines, but this request was denied by the US government because the engines were still under development.

	F-16 Fighting Falcon - Military Aircraft
		The Boeing and General Dynamics designs were the clear leaders from the beginning, with the Northrop twin-engine design clearly the weakest of the six.
		When the General Dynamics design was chosen the other selectee on merit, Boeing was no doubt a bit miffed that its loss was caused by USAF changing the rules in mid-competition.
		General Dynamics chose a single turbofan engine, essentially the same engine as one of the two that powered the F-15.

		The purpose of these vanes is to generate additional lift ahead of the aircraft's center of gravity, which helps to compensate for a nose-down pitching moment that takes place at supersonic speeds.
		The 20mm General Electric M61A1 Vulcan rotary cannon is carried on the port side of the forward fuselage.
		After 1982, Iraq generally had the edge in most air-to-air encounters that took place, with Iran losing most of the few air-to-air encounters that took place after 1983 unless it used carefully-planned ambushes against Iraqi planes that were flying predictable routes.

		It went to 2,100 hp in 1941 and to 2,400 late in the war, but that was all for production models.
		Experimental models, as always, were coaxed into giving more power, one fan-cooled subtype producing 2,800 hp, but in general the R-2800 was a rather fully developed powerplant right from the beginning.
		It was exclusively a powerplant for fighters and medium bombers during the war, being used in the P-47, the F6F Hellcat, and the F4U Corsair, and also in the B-26 and A-26 twin engine mediums.

		The F-14 was developed to take the place of the aborted General Dynamics F-111B (also called the TFX), a navalized version of the U.S. Air Force tactical strike aircraft.
		Once the reliable F110 engines arrived, which also provided the F-14 with the full thrust for which it was designed, the full capability of the aircraft became apparent.
		The plane accelerates and decelerates very rapidly, and while it can't match it in roll, is said to be able to consistently fight F-16Cs to a draw close in while retaining its speed, endurance and avionics advantages.
