Pratt & Whitney F100-PW-229 F-16 Fan Blade Display (1978)

The F-16 Fighting Falcon, nicknamed the “Viper,” first flew in 1974 and became one of the most successful fighter jets ever made, with more than 4,000 built and flown by air forces around the world. Its Pratt & Whitney F100 engine gives it the incredible thrust that lets it climb and turn like few aircraft can. Each titanium blade inside that engine is built to survive enormous speed, heat and force.

This piece starts with a real engine blade from a fighter jet. Our studio team in Los Angeles cuts a section from the blade, then cut, engraved, heat-colored with open flame, anodized and hand-polished it, step by step. The flame and anodizing create deep blue, gold and purple tones on the titanium, and no two blades ever come out the same. It is our way of giving a part built for combat speed a second life as a piece of art.
