Pratt & Whitney is starting initial service-release tests of the short-takeoff/vertical-landing (Stovl) F135 version as it closes on the final phases of engine development for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. The start of Stovl proving runs at the company’s West Palm Beach, Fla., test site comes as Pratt begins a steady ramp-up of engine production for Lockheed Martin’s Fort Worth assembly line. Three production conventional-takeoff-and-landing and carrier version (CTOL/CV) F135s have been delivered this year; the first unit was handed over in January.

HARTFORD, Conn. — Pratt & Whitney is completing its 1,000th F117 engine for Boeing’s C-17, and expects to continue building them up to around 2015. The 1,000th engine, a military derivative of the PW2000 commercial turbofan, will be delivered later this month and officially marked in a ceremony set for May. Despite the slowing of the C-17 production rate to 10 per year by 2013, “the engine will be an important part of the business for the next five years,” newly appointed Military Engines President Warren Boley says.
