Pratt & Whitney Powers Flight of Second Northrop Grumman X-47B Unmanned Combat ... MarketWatch (press release)
Company.The flight of the tailless, autonomous aircraft known as Air Vehicle 2 (AV-2) took place at Edwards Air Force Base on Nov. 22 and lasted for about 30 minutes.
"The successful flight of the second UCAS aircraft is a testament to a strong partnership between Pratt & Whitney and our teammates from Northrop Grumman and the United States Navy," said Jimmy Reed, director of Advanced Engine Programs for Pratt & Whitney. "We have worked diligently to get ready for these tests and Pratt & Whitney's propulsion system performed well, allowing the aircraft to complete all planned activity during the flight."
Northrop Grumman awarded a contract to Pratt & Whitney in 2008 to develop and integrate the engine and exhaust system for the X-47B. The Pratt & Whitney F100-PW-220U engine, a derivative of the F100-PW-220 and -220E engine models that power the F-15 Eagle and F-16 Falcon, enjoys the maturity gained from more than 12 million hours of operational experience. The engine and unique exhaust system have successfully completed ground accelerated mission testing. The accelerated mission test simulated the planned usage of the propulsion system during the X-47B flight test program. This endurance test demonstrated the durability and performance of the F100-PW-220U unique engine hardware and the exhaust system.
The F100-PW-220U engine is capable of providing up to 16,000 pounds of thrust and is intended for operation in a maritime environment, including carrier deck operations. The successful addition of AV-2 to the demonstration program provides a critical inflection point for the UCAS-D flight test program. The availability of two flight test aircraft is important for helping the program maintain a satisfactory flight test rhythm as it begins transitioning both aircraft to Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Md., for shore-based carrier suitability testing in early 2012. Carrier demonstrations for the unmanned combat air system are scheduled in 2013.

A ford f100 truck racing a twin turbo mustang on the street. A must see!
I have a 65 ford f100 with 3 speed manual, How do I make it Automatic?
I have a 65 ford f100 with 3 speed manual transmission and a 352 V8 engine. What automatic transmission do I need that will fit on the 352 engine with out modifications?
There is no way to do this without modifications.That is a big job and if you are not an experienced mechanic i would not attempt it-this involves fabrication of drive shafts, changing and moving crossmembers and mounts and matching parts that that only an expert can know how to do. If you have a truck just like yours with an auto trans it could be done by someone with good mechanical ability, otherwise dont attempt it or you will wind up spending a very large amount of $$$.
How do I change from 4bbl to 2bbl carb on 1969 Ford F100?
The truck was originally 2bbl carb. Somebody changed intake and put 4bbl Holly on truck. Want to change back to just a standard Ford 2bbl carb. What all do I need to do so?
Vehicle is manual choke vehicle. 302 ci. Ford F100 Ranger.
Not changing for mileage. The truck has been setting for quite a while, old carb is bad, don't care to rebuild. 2 bbl is cheaper to purchase.
Two ways.
You could use a 2 barrel carburetor adapter plate on your current intake manifold.
You could replace the 4 barrel intake manifold with a 2 barrel manifold.
If setup correctly, the 4 barrel will get the same or better fuel mileage, as long as you use a light touch on the throttle. This is because the engine is normally running on the primary barrels, these are usually smaller then the barrels used on a 2 barrel carburetor. The secondaries (all 4 barrels) are not opened until the engine is placed under a load (heavy foot on the throttle). The secondaries are operated by engine vacuum and only open as much and as long as the engine demand requires.

How big is the difference between a nikon 65 and a nikon 80. How about a Nikon 80 compaired to a Nikon F100?
Are all the lenses interchangeable? Are the lenses interchangeable with newer Digital SLRS?
Thanks for your help!
I am relatively new to photography.. I just had my N65 stolen... Now I am debating between paying $150 to get two lenses and a N80 or pay around a few hundred for just the body of a F100. Is it really worth it for me to get the F100? Is the N80 as good as the N65? Any other suggestions for cameras? Will the lenses be interchangeable between the three?
whats a normal price to pay for a N80 along with 2 lenses (30-300 and the smaller standard sigma lense) and a tripod?
Is the Sigma lense compatable with the Nikon Digital D80?
The N80 is a much better camera--better metering system, better flash system, better magnification in the viewfinder, etc. that it's a no-brainer to get the N80 over the N65, IMHO.
With the F100, what you're getting is a much tougher body over the N80 and N65.
I suggest getting the N80 and the AF lenses you want instead of spending $150 more on the F100. Then, later you can use those lenses on the Nikon digital SLRs. Lenses should work on the N65, N80 and F100 interchangeably.
I own an N80, so of course, I find the F100 tempting always. But the F100 doesn't have the popup flash and is *a lot* heavier. The N80 seems like the perfect way to upgrade from the N65 while getting the features/controls of the F100 in a lighter package.
Edit: search eBay for the prices you're asking about.
When you eventually move into the DSLR arena, all the lenses will work just fine.
Don't worry about compatibility of bodies. That's one of Nikon's strongest points. Read these two article to put your mind at ease.

http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/compatibility-lens.htm
As far as the Sigma lenses go, if they are being used on a Nikon N series camera, then you'll have full compatibility.
I've got a Sigma 28-300mm that works well will all my digital Nikons, as well as every film SLR I have from the N2000 and N65.
By the way, I'd suggest checking your local Craigslist as that lets you try the camera bodies and lenses before buying. I've gotten some great deals that way without worrying about compatibility or the condition of the equipment.
I hope this helps you.
What are the capabilities of a 1964 ford f100 292?
I recently bought a 1964 ford f100 with a 292. Got it started today too. I was wondering what type of power this engine can make. I heard mixed reviews about this engine. Some say it horsepower is lacking while others say its a good engine. What i am wondering is what type of Horsepower ratings does the 1964 292 get and is capable of a burnout or just too weak?
Thanks
The 292 is a very capable engine, just not especially for hot rodding. It had/has oiling problems on the top end. There were kits available to remedy this and might be found at swap meets or ebay. Although difficult to find "rams horn" exhaust manifolds and dual pipes can be installed in place of the crossover exhaust. Four barrel manifold and carb can also be swapped.
While you could put a 302 in it (like everyone else says), there's something to be said about having the original engine.
If you have a standard tranny, there is no problem spinning the back tires, but it's another story for the automatics.
How do i eliminate play in the steering of a 73 Ford F100?
I have a 73 F100 that has alot of play in the steering. What do I need to replace or fix to tighten up the steering?
Ok, you need to find where the slack is. Get some one to turn the wheel while you watch. First place to look is the rubber piece (I just went blank on its name). It bolts between the steering column and steering box. If it's worn replace. If not inspect the steering linkage (tie rods, Pittman arm). If they are tight and the slack is in the steering box itself there is a large flat head screw you can adjust the slack out, I wouldn't recommend doing that. The last time I adjusted one the box ended up stripping out. Good luck.
You are looking at at 3-4 hundred in parts, and a chunk of labor if you have it done. Good Luck.
Do not Over adjust it!
What engine should i purchase for my 1962 Ford F100 Pickup?
I am currently restoring a 1962 Ford F100 pickup that has a 223 straight 6 in it mow. I am looking for a engine with some more muscle but not too much. What do you reccommend???
Duramax diesel twin turbo
how can I set the timing on my 72' ford f100 by ear, where do I start?
I have a 72' f100 with a 302 v8. I'm not sure of the year motor.don't know what the timing should be.can I get it close by listening, what do i listen for?
Take the spark plug out of the #1 cylinder. Have a friend bump the starter while you hold your thumb over the hole. When air pressure starts to push your thumb off the hole, stop. Place a small dowel rod or a long screwdriver carefully into the hole. Have your friend bump the starter again carefully and watch for the dowel/screwdriver to rise up. Keep bumping the starter until the dowel/screwdriver stops rising or just starts to drop. This should put the piston close to top dead center. Remove the dowel/screwdriver and replace the spark plug and wire. Trace the #1 plug wire back to the distributor cap and note where it enters. Take the cap off and then look at the rotor and where it is pointing. It should be pointing at the spot where the #1 wire tower is. If not, loosen the distributor hold down bolt and slow rotate the distributor body in the direction that the #1 wire tower needs to go to line up with the rotor. Tighten hold down bolt and replace the cap. You should be able to now get the engine started. Once it's running you can loosen the hold down bolt and rotate the distributor and listen to the engine speed change. Advancing the distributor will cause the engine speed to increase a bit while retarding the distributor will cause it to slow. Of course you can always borrow a timing light from a buddy and do it the easy way too. :O)
How do I get my speedometer and odometer to work again on my 72 Ford F100?
My speedometer and odometer stopped working on my 72 Ford F100. I'm not sure where to look. I've been told it might need some graphite lubrication on the gear attached to the cable that runs from the transmission. I'm not quite sure what to do.
There are only 3 things that can cause the problem on this truck. The cable broke or came loose. The gage itself has broken. The gear in the tailshaft of the trans. Check them in that order. I put them in order of ease of repair. Hopefully it is just the cable. Graphite will not fix this problem. Keep in mind that you may have 2 cables if you have cruise. One from trans to cruise, one from cruise to gage. The cruise itself could have quit but this is not likely. It is rare for this truck to have cruise anyway.
How to install oil pressure gauge in 76 ford f100?
My f100 has the one piece all electrical gauge cluster, and the temp and oil don't work anymore. I bought the gauges, and cables, but i can't find where to plug in the oil pressure nylon tube.
I assume you bought an aftermarket mechanical gauge set. The stock oil sending unit should be removed. The brass adapter will go in the same hole and the hose connected to the fitting w/compression nut. Do NOT over tighten the little nut, it just has to be snug. Put the nut on the hose, then the little "BB" looking ferrule on the hose. Push hose into fitting as far as it will easily go, slide BB & nut to fitting and, while holding hose in hole, snug the nut. Check to make sure the hose won't pull out. Start truck and watch for leaks a few minutes and you should be ready to go.
What performance parts would be best 1977 Ford F100 Ranger?
I have a 1977 Ford F100 Ranger XLT with a 351 Modified. Im wondering what type of parts and work i could do myself to get the most out of this motor? Could someone give me some ideas? I got like 5000 to spend on it! thanks
