Initial bench tests of the two-shaft, 12,000lb-thrust technology demon strator have been completed at IHI's Mizuho plant, where tests are expected to resume within three months. The first flightworthy test engine, designated XF7- 10, is scheduled to begin bench tests at the end of the year. Mitsubishi and Kawasaki Heavy Industries are also supporting the TRDI-led project, which supports the Japan Maritime Self-Defence Force's plan to develop a replace ment for its 100-strong fleet of Lockheed Martin P-3Cs. IHI also produces more than 75% of a licence-built GE F110 variant designed to power the Mitsubishi F-2 fighter. F3-30 F3-30-30 XF-7 XF7-1 3.700 12,000 208 1.34 0.56 Turbofan. Kawasaki T-4 Turbofan. P-X maritime patrol aircraft INTERNATIONAL TURBINE ENGINE (ITEC) The F124 developed by Taiwan's Han Hsiang and Aerospace Industrial Development (AIDC) group in association with Honeywell powers the Czech Aero L-159. This could sustain the engine programme until new opportunities emerge, including unmanned combat air vehicles (UCAVs) and a prospective new version of Taiwan's Ching-Kuo Indigenous Defence Fighter (IDF). The IDF C/D variant, if sanctioned, is baselined with the TFE1042, or F125 variant. AIDC ceased IDF manufacture in December 1999 after completing 130 aircraft. The F124, mean while, powers the first two Boeing X-45A UCAV demonstrator systems, despite being too powerful for the vehicle. ITEC, through Honeywell, is expected to offer a derated F124 forthe operational system. Alternatives include a refanned AS900, P&WC PW305 or a derated Rolls-Royce AE3007. The F124-200 version was also selected by Aermacchi to power the M346 advanced trainer. FiatAvio was awarded the contract to assemble the engineas well as produce the low pressure turbine module, accessory gearbox and exhaust system..

Engine also known as TFE1042-70 •^jl.'.f'M Kiimov continues development of its uprated RD-33M Series 3 engine for RSK MiG's MiG-29 MRCA development. The upgraded engine is designed to be more reliable than earlier generations with 1,000h between overhauls and a 2,000h life. Maximum thrust is increased from 18,300lb'to 19,4001b. Kiimov has outlined plans to boost this to 20,9001b. The MiG-29GVT variant, fitted with the KLIVT (Kiimov Thrust Vectoring System) nozzle, has also begun flight tests. Another RD-33 derivative, the RD-93, has been proposed for the Chengdu FC- 1 - a joint Chinese-Pakistan fighter venture developed from the defunct "Super 7" project. A higher thrust development, the RD-133, has also been put forward as a ready-made contender for Russia's proposed LFI - a fifth-generation light weight frontal fighter. The Russian state aviation agency has outlined plans for a first flight as early as 2006, giving little time for development of a purpose- designed next-generation powerplant. Kiimov is also working to complete development of the TV7-117VM turboshaft for the Euromil Mi-38 helicopter to counter strong competition from P&WC, which is powering the prototype with modified PW127s. Euromil plans to offer the Mi-38 with both engine types from 2005. Based on the same core, Kiimov is also working to develop the TV7- 117VK variant for the Kamov Ka-50 and Ka-52. Negotiations have also been held with Kamov on the possibility of using the -117VK to increase performance of the Ka-32.
