F404-GE-F1D2
Group : Fighter Aircraft Engines
Status : Active
Origin : United States of America
Contractor : General Electric
Total Production : ?
The F404 engine was developed to power the US Navy's F/A-18 Hornet. It has been proved as a reliable high performance engine.
The F404 incorporates an array of new technologies, modular design and advanced materials.
The F404-GE-F1D2 was designed to power the USAF's F-117A stealth fighter. The main feature of -F1D2 by comparison with baseline F404 is the lack of afterburner to reduce aircraft's IR signature. The -F1D2 engine also has lower thrust due to the non-afterburning feature.

F404-GE-102
Group : Fighter Aircraft Engines
Status : Active
Origin : South Korea,
United States of America
Contractors : General Electric, KAI Korea Aerospace Industries
Initial Operational Capability (IOC) : 2005
Total Production : ?
The F404-GE-102 engine is a derivative of the F404-GE-402 with special features related to safety. General Electric and KAI are developing this engine to meet the requirements of South Korea's advanced Trainer/Light Attack T-50 Golden Eagle aircraft.
Current F404-powered aircraft are twin-engine, excepting A-4S, so safety is an important milestone of -102 engine. The -102 engine must also meet the requirement of supersonic flight. First production -102 engines will be delivered in 2005.

F404-GE-IN20
Group : Fighter Aircraft Engines
Status : Active
Origin : United States of America
Contractor : General Electric
Initial Operational Capability (IOC) : 2007
Total Production : 140
Unitary Cost : USD $6.0 million
The F404-GE-IN20 is a variant of F404-GE-402 engine designed to meet the requirements of the Indian Air Force and Navy for the Tejas, formerly LCA, combat aircraft. Modifications introduced into the -IN20 engine include redundant features and an advanced Full Authority Digital Electronic Control (FADEC).
The Indian ADA agency awarded General Electric a $105 million contract in February 2004 for development engineering and production of 17 F404-GE-IN20 engines.
