POWERPLANT

Two General Electric  F110-GE-400 turbofans used in the F-14B/D rated at 71.56 kN dry
and 120.1 kN with afterburning.  Garrett ATS200-50 air turbine starter.  F110 engine 
has 43% more reheated thrust and 37% more military thrust than TF30-P-414A in F-14A;
results in 20% more specific execess energy, 30% lower specific fuel consumption in
afterburner, 62% greater deck launch intercept radius and 34% more combat air patrol
time; can be launches without afterburner; time to 10,670m reduced by 61% and 
acceleration time by 43%.  Integral fuel tanks in outer wings, each with capacity of 
1,117 litres; and foward of wing carry-through structure, capacity 2,616 litres; plus
two feeder tanks with combined capacity of 1,726 litres.  Total internal fuel capacity
9,029 litres.  An external auxiliary fuel tank can be carried beneath each intake 
trunk, each containing 1,011 litres.  Retractable flight refueling probe on
