Pratt & Whitney, a subsidiary of RTX, has secured a contract valued at up to $2.8 billion to produce engines for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.
The deal covers the manufacture of 141 F135 propulsion systems, destined for the US Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, international program partners, and foreign military sales customers.
Production will be carried out at multiple US sites, primarily in Connecticut, Indiana, and Washington, with additional work spread across Maine, California, Michigan, Oregon, Georgia, Virginia, New Jersey, and other locations, as well as selected overseas facilities.
Based in East Hartford, Connecticut, the company is expected to complete the program by February 2028, in coordination with the Naval Air Systems Command in Maryland.
