According to the article "F110-GE-129 EFE - Enhanced Power Through Low Risk Derivative Technology", F110-GE-129EFE++ has a core driven fan stage, which I believe is the F110 variable cycle model. But from Dennis K. Williams' article, the thrust of F110-GE-129EFE++will reach 40,000 pounds, is F/A-XX so heavy that it requires such a large thrust?


The engine size compatibility and other key technical characteristics are considered by the Navy, which sounds like the Navy is carrying out the overall design of the F/A-XX instead of choosing the aircraft manufacturer's design.
