Pratt & Whitney, a subsidiary of RTX, is a global leader in aviation propulsion systems, renowned for designing, manufacturing, and servicing aircraft engines that power both commercial and military aircraft. With a legacy of innovation dating back to the 1920s, the company has continually advanced engine technology, contributing significantly to the evolution of aerospace engineering. Pratt & Whitney's commitment to performance, efficiency, and reliability has solidified its position as a trusted partner in the aviation industry, supporting a wide range of aircraft from regional jets to advanced fighter planes.
The Filtered Rayleigh Scattering for Thrust measurement (FRST) was successfully demonstrated on a test engine at Pratt Whitney Center of Excellence at Virginia Tech.
The engine was designed and enhanced for Textron Aviation to deliver improved specific fuel consumption (SFC), thrust and time between overhauls (TBO).
With the goal of achieving net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050 now backed by airlines and governments globally, Pratt & Whitney is focused on advancing technologies that will help achieve that.
Global helicopter distributor, Rotortrade, has signed an agreement that will increase the number of helicopter engines the company will enroll every year to the Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Engine Program.
