Operational energy and the capability to provide air power to the warfighter when and where it is required are intrinsically tied to the Department of Air Force's readiness and lethality.
The goal of "Adaptive Versatile Engine Technology", or ADVENT, is to develop the next generation of combat engines.
ADVENT would aim to create the technology required for a ground-breaking three-stream adaptive cycle engine, in contrast to the fixed, two-stream turbofan engines that had powered (and now power) the Air Force’s fighter fleets since the 1970s.
The milestone was achieved on March 25 at Arnold Engineering Development Complex in Tennessee, which was a joint venture between GE and the Air Force, using GE XA100 engine.
The Adaptive Engine Transition Program (AETP) was launched in 2016 with the intention of creating adaptable engines for sixth-generation fighter propulsion as well as prospective F-35 reengineering using the F135 turbofan engine currently in use.
