GCAPのエンジンはこの共同エンジン実証から開発されるものだとIHIが言ってる。
ここでGCAP用に十分にコンパクトなエンジンの発電と熱エネルギー管理能力を含む能力が実証されるとのこと。
F-X、GCAPに関わらず次期戦闘機用エンジンは最初から共同開発していると言われていた通り。

Japan's IHI Corporation and the UK's Rolls-Royce have initiated development of the engine that will power the proposed future fighter aircraft
under the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP).
Atsushi Sato, vice-president of IHI's aero-engine, space, and defence businesses, told Janes at the DSEI Japan 2023 exhibition in Chiba that
the two companies are starting to exchange personnel and technologies following the signing of a joint development agreement in December 2021.
Sato said that the collaborative programme – named the ‘joint demonstrator engine' project – aims to prove capabilities including power generation
and thermal energy management in an engine that is sufficiently compact for the GCAP fighter.
“We are now sending IHI engineers to Rolls-Royce and they are sending engineers to us in Japan,” said Sato. “There are a lot of new technologies
that need to be validated. Another priority is the design of the engine to ensure it can be integrated into the new fighter aircraft.”
He said the two companies aim to develop an engine prototype by the late 2020s to enable integration into the initial batches of GCAP fighters to be
produced from the mid-2030s. Initial tests of the engine will take place in the UK, he said. (Janes)
