RTX’s Pratt & Whitney awarded $1.5B F119 engine sustainment contract

Pratt & Whitney, an RTX (RTX) business, secured a three-year contract valued up to $1.5 billion to sustain F119 engines, which power the U.S. Air Force’s F-22 fighter jets. The contract will improve readiness and reduce costs for an F119 fleet of more than 400 engines that have flown over 900,000 engine flight hours. “The F119’s readiness and reliability rates have never been more important, and we are improving both while lowering lifecycle costs,” said Jill Albertelli, president of Military Engines at Pratt & Whitney. “We are committed to helping our U.S. Air Force customer maintain the F-22’s combat edge.”
