Adaptive Versatile Engine Technology

<p>The Adaptive Versatile Engine Technology (ADVENT) program was an <a href="/facts/Aircraft_engine/XJo2Bd2e">aircraft engine</a> development program run by the <a href="/facts/United_States_Air_Force/7MxWBYlc">United States Air Force</a> with the goal of developing an efficient adaptive cycle, or <a href="/facts/Variable_cycle_engine/juAc3RsD">variable cycle engine</a> for next generation military aircraft; initial demonstrators were expected to be in the 20,000 lbf (89 kN) thrust class. 
</p><p>In 2012 the program was succeeded by the Adaptive Engine Technology Demonstrator (AETD) program; work continued in 2016 under the Adaptive Engine Transition Program (AETP), which focused on developing and testing a 45,000 lbf (200 kN) thrust class adaptive cycle engine for potential F-35 re-engining. A subsequent Next Generation Adaptive Propulsion (NGAP) program was also launched for a related 35,000–40,000 lbf (156–178 kN) thrust class engine to power the <a href="/facts/Next_Generation_Air_Dominance/KFlM1Qaw">Next Generation Air Dominance</a> crewed fighter aircraft.
