What planes use the F100 engine?

The high performance Pratt & Whitney F100 turbofan engine is the powerplant for the F-15 Eagle and the majority of F-16 Fighting Falcons. Development of the F100 series began in the late 1960s for the F-X fighter program (which became the F-15 Eagle fighter). The Pratt & Whitney F100 (company designation JTF22) is a low bypass afterburning turbofan engine. It was designed and manufactured by Pratt & Whitney to power the U. S. Air Force’s FX initiative in 1965, which became the F-15 Eagle.
