The Pentagon has given General Electric a $101.4 million contract for an unspecific number of F110-GE-129 engines to power the F-15EX Lot 1 aircraft.
The military had said earlier it will open the engine choice to competition. The Pentagon said in the Jun. 30 press release that the “award is the result of an unusual and compelling urgency acquisition.”
General Electric will have to deliver the engines by Nov. 30, 2022.
The powerplant has been chosen for the F-15K, F-15QA, F-15SA and F-15SG.
