The operational background of the Harrier/AV8 family of aircraft was used to define a demonstrator program for improved performance. The XG15 demonstrator program was completed in April 1988. The results formed the basis of the improved F402-RR-408 engine. The validation test program commenced with an engine roll out in June 1988 and is due for completion in May 1990. A summary of technical issues and program status is given.
