P R AT T   &   W H I T N E Y   Pratt & Whitney is capitalizing on its broad and diverse portfolio of businesses to pioneer new products, innovative solutions to customer needs and exciting new technologies that will drive future growth and help sustain the planet.
        In October, Pratt & Whitney’s first F135 propulsion system for the Joint Strike Fighter ( JSF) roared to life on a test stand at the company’s facilities in West Palm Beach, Florida. The JSF is remarkably versatile: a single aircraft meets the needs of the U.S. Air Force, Navy and Marines, as well as other international air forces. The F135 propulsion system is on budget, on target for performance and ahead of schedule.
        Commercial Engines leveraged alliances and partnerships into major orders from airlines in a very challenging market. The GE/P&W Alliance landed a $1.5 billion order from Emirates for GP7000 engines to power the new Airbus A380, along with an $800 million order from International Lease Finance Corporation. International Aero Engines, with Pratt & Whitney as a lead partner, secured more than $2.5 billion in new orders in 2003.
        Pratt & Whitney Canada’s PW600 engine family was selected for two groundbreaking new aircraft, the Cessna Citation Mustang and the Eclipse 500. These two new planes have the potential to revolutionize the industry by making business and personal air travel far more affordable. Pratt & Whitney also is on track for significant growth in aftermarket services in all of its businesses, from Commercial and Military Engines to Power Systems.
        After a banner year, there is still plenty of open runway ahead. Pratt & Whitney is developing exciting new technologies, nurtured in its Green Engine programs and friendly to the earth. At the same time, it is redefining air travel with hypersonic propulsion systems. Pratt & Whitney will remain a world leader in delivering dependable power solutions to its customers.
