Tempest F1 (5)

The Tempest’s powerplant is the Eurojet EJ300 advanced turbofan, capable of 28,000 lb of dry thrust (45,000 lb with afterburner). This engine is a further development of the EJ200, though it also incorporates technology deriving from the Rolls-Royce F136 alternate engine for the F-35. The EJ300 engine can push the Tempest to a top speed of Mach 2,2 at altitude, or Mach 1,6 at sea-level. Speeds with supercruise range between Mach 1,1 and 1,5.
