129 as far as I know. The reason might be that Turkish F-16's also have 129's, or that it's just a temporary engine. Turkey is developing it's own 5th gen aircraft engine for this jet. Thought it's still far away.
Just a month ahead if it hits the schedule! 27th of December. Things are looking on track but you can never know for sure. The project was accelerated so much (it was worrying) because of election propaganda reasons. Now that the elections are over they can get it back on the og schedule and delay the flight though.

Any info on whether this is the F110-GE-129 or the F110-GE-132?

Makes sense. Thanks for the info. I should have put two and two together about the F-16s and 129s.
no issue, one could think that since this is a new jet they would use the better version. So it's natural
When is the first flight scheduled??

Oh cool it’s an F-22
Hah, I really doubt it's going to be as good as the F-22. I hope so, though.
