F414-GE-39E: Turbofan Engine

The F414-GE-39E turbofan engine has been chosen to power Saab's Next Generation Gripen aircraft. It is a variant of the proven F414-GE-400 engine that combines reliability from its predecessor, the F404, with advanced technologies to provide over 35% more thrust and improved performance, survivability and payload for aircraft like the Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet. The F414 engine features a full authority digital electronic control and advanced materials that improve operational characteristics and extend component life while increasing performance. It is a modular, reliable and easy to maintain engine that also powers the Boeing EA-18G Growler and has potential applications in emerging platforms like the Korean KF
