Pratt & Whitney, a United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX) company, is a world leader in the design, manufacture and support of aircraft engines, space propulsion systems and industrial gas turbines. Whether it's through the development and implementation of better heat-resistant coatings, more environmentally friendly processes, innovative servicing procedures or more fuel-efficient engines, Pratt & Whitney is the pioneer behind most major advances in military and commercial aviation. That's why our engines power more than half of the world's commercial air fleet, and the leading weapon systems of the U.S. Air Force (all operational F-15 Eagles; most F-16 Falcons; all C-17 Globemaster IIIs; and all F-22 Raptors). Pratt & Whitney also powers two F-35 Lightning II flight test programs - conventional take-off and landing (CTOL) and short take-off and vertical landing (STOVL) variants. Twenty-two allied nations have Pratt & Whitney power for their frontline fighters, including the Hellenic Republic. www.pw.utc.com
