WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Pratt & Whitney is preparing to wrap up production of the F119 for the F-22A Raptor but hopes an ongoing U.S. Air Force analysis will lead to additional engines being built through 2012.
Pratt & Whitney will start ground tests of its first production PW1524G geared turbofan at its West Palm Beach, Fla., site in early September following completion of the initial unit at its Middletown Engine Center in Connecticut on Aug. 25. The testing, on stand C11 inside the 7,000-acre facility, will kick off a two-year validation and certification program for the GTF’s first application, the Bombardier CSeries airliner. The program will involve eight full engines, and follows 260 hr. of recently completed core tests at Pratt & Whitney Canada.
Rolls-Royce is alleging Pratt & Whitney’s fan design for the PW1000G geared turbofan and Engine Alliance GP7200 infringes a Rolls patent, and is seeking damages and injunctions in a district court of Virginia.
