Robert,

Just checked our you web site, nice job!.  I particularly liked you section
on turbine engine designations.  Thought I would pass along some updates for
you.

F104  was also used on the Tacit Blue stealth demonstrator

The F117 is the military designation of the PW2037.

The F124-GA-400 only flew on one T-45A aircraft as a demonstrator for the
Australian Lead-in-Fighter competition.  The F124-GA-100 is in the Aero
Vodochody L-159 fighter/trainer.  The F124 is a non-afterburning version of
the TFE1042-70 engine.

F125-GA-100 is the US military designation for the TFE1042-70.  The only
application is the ROC's Ching Kuo Indigenous Defensive Fighter

The F405 is the Rolls Royce/Turbomeca Adour engine.

F412 was a F404 derivative planned for use in the A-12 Avenger II.  It was
further developed into the F414 for the F/A-18 E/F.

Most of the other blanks you have on the recent engines are pretty much
military designations for commercial engines used in military service.
Somewhere in my archives I have a better list.  If you are interested, I'll
pass it along.

Regards

Mark Johnston
