The '''Adaptive Versatile Engine Technology''' ('''ADVENT''') program was an [[aircraft engine]] development program run by the [[United States Air Force]] with the goal of developing an efficient adaptive cycle, or [[variable cycle engine]] for next generation military aircraft; initial demonstrators were expected to be in the 20,000 lbf (89 kN) thrust class.

In 20162012 the programsprogram werewas succeeded by the '''Adaptive Engine Technology Demonstrator''' ('''AETD''') program; work continued in 2016 under the '''Adaptive Engine Transition Program''' ('''AETP'''), which focused on developing and testing a 45,000 lbf (200 kN) thrust class adaptive cycle engine for potential F-35 re-engining. andA thesubsequent '''Next Generation Adaptive Propulsion''' ('''NGAP''') program was also launched for a related 35,000–40,000 lbf (156–178 kN) thrust class engine to power the [[Next Generation Air Dominance]] fighter aircraft.
