Merger proposal[edit]

More references linking the two would be a good strat. No objections per se.--Petebutt (talk) 13:16, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The forecastinternational backgrounder is pretty explicit about the F107/F122/F415 being only variants.--Marc Lacoste (talk) 06:07, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No one ever bothered adding those variants to this article before the new articles were created, and creating redirects here from the other designations so they wouldn't show up on the missing aviation articles list. Yet somehow someone always is willing to suggest merging after someone else has done the heavy lifting. - BilCat (talk) 06:44, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind, and apologies for the snarkiness. Go.ahead and merge. - BilCat (talk) 12:47, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merger complete. Klbrain (talk) 12:27, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have worked at Williams international for over 40 years. First, I’m not aware of an F122 engine. The F112 is a modified version of the F107. The f107/f112 engines are a two spindle design with the LP shaft with two turbines driving an IP fan/compressor group and an HP shaft driving a centrifugal compressor. The LP shaft and the HP shaft spin in opposite directions. Second, the F415 is a single shaft engine with an IP fan/compressor/turbine design. Third, the f107-105 engine currently in production is a hybrid of the f107/f112 engines. This engine is currently going into the an Air Force air launched missile not the Tomahawk. 65.130.173.217 (talk) 04:01, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the F107-WR-105 has a thrust that is less than 700 lbs. The FJ33, FJ44 engines are rated at a thrust of 1300 lbs and above but are mainly used on commercial aircraft. 65.130.173.217 (talk) 04:12, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Change of Title?[edit]

As mentioned in the Merger proposal, as the F107/F122/F415 are variants of the WR19, should the article reflect the company name for the project, with specifics about variants within? Dustball72 (talk) 15:31, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
