General Electric F101

The General Electric F101 is an afterburning turbofan jet engine.

It powers the Rockwell B-1 Lancer strategic bomber fleet of the USAF.

General Electric was awarded a contract to further develop the F101-102 engine variant.

The B-1's four F101 engines helped the aircraft win 61 world records for speed, time-to-climb, payload and range.

The GE F110 turbofan fighter jet engine is a derivative of the F101, designed using data from the F101-powered variant of the F-16 Fighting Falcon tested in the early 1980s.
