Development
In 1967, the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] and [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] teamed up to invite engine proposals for [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] and [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] fighters.
The combined program was called Advanced Turbine Engine Gas Generator (ATEGG) with goals to improve thrust and reduce weight to achieve a [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] of 9.
The program requested proposals and would award Pratt & Whitney a contract in 1970 to produce F100-PW-100 (USAF) and F401-PW-400 (USN) engines.
The Navy would cut back and later cancel its order, choosing to continue to use the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] engine from the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] in its F-14.

Variants
F100-PW-100
The F100-100 first flew in an F-15 Eagle in 1972 with a thrust of 23,930 lbf.
Due to the advanced nature of engine and aircraft, numerous problems were encountered in its early days of service including high wear, stalling and "hard" afterburner starts which are commonly referred to as A/B blowouts by the Air Force mechanics who service the engines.
These "hard" starts could be caused by failure of the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] to start or by extinguishing after start, in either case the large jets of jet fuel were lit by the engine exhaust resulting in high pressure waves causing the engine to stall. Early problems were solved, and the F100 is still in the USAF fleet to this day.

Re: Pratt & Whitney F100
The manner in which the early problems were solved on the F100 during the early to mid-1970s provided an example of larger concerns about the nature of the partnership of the U.S. government with for-profit industrial corporations in the field of [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] (R&D).
Since World War II, technological innovation through R&D has been a necessary part of maintaining military advantage; thus it is part of national security policy.
But if industries such as aerospace and electronics are not [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien]
(which they are not in the United States and many other countries), and for-profit corporations are to be part of the mix (some advantages being competition and the efficiency and innovation that it engenders), then there are inherent questions to consider about the side effects of a[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien], such as who pays the costs (and takes the risks) of technological advancement—including routine R&D, correction of deficiencies in initial design (a.k.a. "rework"), the natural teething pains of new technology (e.g., rockets' exploding on the launchpad being an inevitable part of life despite anyone's best efforts), and so on.
Clearly neither the government nor the private sector can underwrite all of these costs, because if government bears too much of the expenses, then private companies benefit unfairly from public tax dollars, whereas if the private sector were expected to provide too much of the capital, the pace of advancement would be restricted if individual corporations avoided large risks (big bets on particular technologies or product lines).
The concepts of sales to foreign governments potentially undermining U.S. military advantage, "excess profits", and "warmongering" also enter the equation (including, in the latter two cases, how even to define them, or to differentiate them from their defensible, milder analogues).
In a history of Pratt & Whitney's parent corporation [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien], Ronald Fernandez (1983) discussed how some of these larger themes played out in relation to particular programs such as the F100, where reengineering and testing incurred substantial costs.

F100-PW-220/220E
The F100-PW-220 incorporated the most advanced technology available, including the precision control and advanced maintenance features of digital electronic controls and the extended durability and reliability of metallurgical and heat-transfer advances.
The F100-220 was introduced in 1986 and could be installed on either an F-15 or F-16.
A non-afterburning variant, the F100-PW-220U powers the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien].
The F100-220E is a -200 engine upgraded to -220 specification.

F100-PW-229
Using technology developed from the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] and [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] engine programs for the F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II,
the current production F100-PW-229 incorporates modern turbine materials, cooling management techniques, compressor aerodynamics, and electronic controls.
The first -229 was flown in 1989 and has a thrust of 17,800 lbs (dry thrust) and 29,160 lbs with afterburner.
It currently powers late model F-16s and [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien].

An F100-PW-229 Engine Enhancement Package engine undergoes ram testing in SL-3 as part of a year-long Accelerated Mission Test, the longest test of its kind at Arnold. Ram is a term describing test conditions in which inlet pressures are above ambient or atmospheric conditions.
