captflyby Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 (edited) Does anyone know which of the 2 engines our current hornet is modeling? General Electric F404-GE-400 or F404-GE-402 Reason I ask, is that the 402 offers enhanced performance. F404-GE-400 engine is approximately 10,700 pounds with maximum afterburner thrust in the 16,000 pound class. The military thrust of each F404-GE-402 engine is approximately 10,900 pounds with maximum afterburner thrust in the 18,000 pound class. In the long run, it doesn't make that much difference in performance, especially depending upon loadout, but I was more curious than anything.

grunf Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Lot 15 and newer Hornets have F404-GE-402 engines. That includes our Hornet, which is Lot 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
