The GE approach would have been invoked in the F-22 or F-23 if the Cold War had not gone so well for us when it did. The GE engine gave better performance to both ATF fighters, and the AF picked the lowest supercruising combo to develop for lower risk and "producability". Whether or not GE succeeds in the future with their advanced engine remains to be seen, but the engine tech itself is coming.
