About Pratt & Whitney
Pratt & Whitney's military work includes engines for fighter and transport aircraft and a global sustainment network. Engine families include F100, F117, F119 and F135, with support offerings ranging from parts supply to fleet management and maintenance, repair and overhaul. Military sustainment can combine government-owned capability with company expertise and contracted support. Headquarters is in East Hartford, Connecticut, and the company has expanded military-engine facilities in Oklahoma City. Commercial engines represent another substantial part of the business. Pratt & Whitney contract and employment figures sit within RTX’s consolidated group and should be attributed accordingly.
