Pratt & Whitney
PW1120
The development of the PW1120, per IAF specifications,
started in June 1980. It was a derivative of the F100 turbofan that would
have been built under license by Bet-Shemesh Engines Limited in Israel.
The PW1120 is no longer in production.

The PW1120 was developed to power the Lavi but was also mounted in the
Kurnass 2000 Super Phantom. This resulted in such a great improvement
in performance that McDonnell Douglas scuttled the project for fear it
would impact the sales of their F/A-18C/D. |
