F100-PW-229 Engine Production License

Pratt & Whitney licensed Hermeus to manufacture F100-PW-229 fighter engines, creating a new qualified U.S. production source for the engine used by F-15 and F-16 aircraft.

Hermeus will manufacture F100 engines using its rapid-build production model under Pratt & Whitney quality, safety, and site-activation standards. The agreement expands domestic fighter-engine capacity and gives Hermeus in-house propulsion production for scaling its Quarterhorse program.
