What is the F414-GE 400 model?
The F414-GE-400 combines the proven reliability, maintainability and operability of its successful F404 predecessor with advanced technologies to provide the Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet with up to 35 percent more thrust and significant improvements in aircraft performance, survivability and payload. A further development of GE’s F404, the F414 combines advanced technology with the proven reliability, ease of maintenance, and operability of its successful predecessor. At the same time, it delivers 35 percent more thrust.The power behind the F-18 Super Hornet, the F414 has become the engine of choice for an increasing number of advanced, next-generation combat aircraft.
