F-16 OPEN INNER NOZZLE PW-229 ENGINE OFF

Open inner engine nozzle F-100 Pratt & Whitney 229 with engine off to be mounted on the F-16.

This piece has been tested in fit and dimensions on the 1/32 model of Tamiya F-16CJ BLOCK 50 and another variant for Academy F-16I SUFA. This extends the options to choose between 2 different diameters for the cover that fits to the fuselage. You can choose the version in the selector at the bottom of this page.

We have no record of the compound petals of PW-229 having initial problems in the F-16 as it happened with the B-1 and the F-15 due to the turbulence of their nacelles. But we design this variant as in other engines in case you prefer to show the internal mechanisms.

The F-100 is the powerplant used in all major North American F-15 air superiority series. The F-100 PW-100 flew for the first time on an F-15 on July 27, 1972 and beat several climbing speed records in 1975. The PW-200 was mounted in the F-16s in 1983. In 1985 the PW-220 flew with a new electric system to equalize softly power and in 1989 flew for the first time the PW-229.
