Lycoming YF-102 / ALF 502
AlliedSignal ALF502
Honeywell ALF502

The original YF102 was developed at the Lycoming Turbine Engine Division in Stratford, Connecticut by adding a fan to the Lycoming T55 engine, which was used as the gas generator. The YF102-LD-100 was tested on an AJ Savage in the early 1970s. Six engines were built for the Northrop YA-9 prototype ground-attack aircraft. These engines were later reused in the C-8A Quiet Short-Haul Research Aircraft (QSRA).

The ALF 502 geared turbofan was certified in 1980, and used on the British Aerospace 146 and Bombardier Challenger 600

The improved, higher-thrust LF 507 was used on the Avro RJ update of the BAe 146.
