                               lycoming alf-502 turbofan engine

Picture
The Lycoming ALF 502 is a US designed high bypass turbofan engine with a geared fan, axial-centrifugal flow high pressure compressor, annular combuster and two stage high and low pressure power turbines.

The original ALF 502 engine, designated YF 102 was developed for the ill fated Northrop YF-9 prototype ground attack aircraft, and first ran and was certificated in 1980, and was firstly produced by Lycoming Engines, then Allied Signals and finally Honeywell Aerospace. The YF 102 powered the Quiet Short Haul research aircraft prototype and by then  the ALF 502 was  powering the Bombardier Challenger 600 series and the British Aerospace BA 146.
