RTX’s Pratt & Whitney unit secured a defense contract valued at nearly $1.3 billion to sustain F135 engines. These engines power the global F-35 Lightning II fighter jet fleet.
The agreement provides spare parts, support equipment, and depot maintenance for U.S. and international operators. This indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity award covers operations through fiscal year 2026.
The contract solidifies RTX’s role in the long-term readiness of the F-35 program. This award coincides with a Pentagon request for emergency funding for advanced military technologies. The request specifically earmarks significant capital for RTX’s missile and propulsion systems.
