The F414 is a turbofan aircraft engine produced by GE Aviation that provides around 22,000 pounds of thrust. It has advanced technologies like FADEC that improve performance while extending the life of components. An enhanced version of the F414 can be retrofitted to provide up to a 20% increase in thrust. The F414 powers several aircraft including the Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, EA-18G Growler, Saab Gripen E/F, and is being considered to power the Korean KF-X and Indian AMCA programs. It combines reliability from its predecessor, the F404, with new technologies to increase thrust and improve survivability and payload capacity on aircraft like the Super

22,000 lb thrust class
Advanced technology features such as a Full Authority
Digital Electronic Control (FADEC) improve operational
characteristics of the F414 engine, while advanced
materials and cooling techniques improve performance
and extend component life.
The F414 Enhanced Engine incorporates additional
technical advancements that can be retrofitted into the
F414 to provide improved component capability for a
significant reduction in ownership costs, or up to a 20
percent increase in thrust with improved specific fuel
consumption.
The F414 is also a potential powerplant for emerging
platforms such as the Korean KF-X and the Indian
Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft, as well as other
potential applications.
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.
Its simple, modular design is reliable and easy to
maintain. F414-GE-400 engines also power Boeing’s EA-
18G Growler electronic attack aircraft, also operational
with the United States Navy. The F414-INS6 was selected
by India’s Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) to
power the MKII version of the Tejas Light Combat Aircraft.
The F414G, the single-engine variant of the proven
F414-GE-400, has been chosen to power Saab’s Gripen
E/F aircraft.
