PW-F117:

The Pratt & Whitney F117 is a variant of the PW2000 commercial engine with a high-bypass turbofan aero and thrust range from 37,000 to 43,000 lbf (165 to 190 kN). The C-17 was developed for the United States Air Force from the 1980s to the early 1990s by McDonnell Douglas. The C-17 is used for rapid strategic airlift of troops and cargo to main operating bases or forward operating bases throughout the world. It has the ability to rapidly deploy a combat unit to a potential battle area and sustain it with on-going supplies. MEPC is exploring options to provide engine MRO services on the F117 engines installed on the C-17 Globemaster Aircraft .
