Pratt & Whitney, an RTX business, has signed a letter of intent with the Polish Air Force University to provide education on F100 and F135 fighter engine propulsion systems. The program will focus on advanced jet propulsion design, manufacturing, and production of engines powering Poland's F-16s and future F-35s.

The company's Rzeszów facility produces F100 static structures, critical rotating parts, and F135 components. In 2024, Pratt & Whitney strengthened Poland's fleet readiness by delivering F100 engines for F-16s and signing an agreement with Military Aviation Works No. 2 to explore expanded maintenance capabilities.

Pratt & Whitney, una società di RTX, ha firmato una lettera di intenti con l'Università dell'aviazione polacca per fornire istruzione sui sistemi di propulsione dei motori da combattimento F100 e F135. Il programma si concentrerà sulla progettazione avanzata della propulsione a reazione, sulla produzione e sulla produzione di motori che alimentano gli F-16 della Polonia e i futuri F-35.

Lo stabilimento di Rzeszów dell'azienda produce strutture statiche F100, parti rotanti critiche e componenti F135. Nel 2024, Pratt & Whitney ha rafforzato la prontezza della flotta polacca consegnando motori F100 per gli F-16 e firmando un accordo con i Lavori di Aviazione Militare n. 2 per esplorare capacità di manutenzione ampliate.

Pratt & Whitney, una empresa de RTX, ha firmado una carta de intenciones con la Universidad de Fuerza Aérea Polaca para proporcionar educación sobre los sistemas de propulsión de motores de combate F100 y F135. El programa se centrará en el diseño avanzado de propulsión a chorro, la fabricación y la producción de motores que alimentan los F-16 de Polonia y los futuros F-35.

La instalación de Rzeszów de la empresa produce estructuras estáticas F100, partes rotativas críticas y componentes F135. En 2024, Pratt & Whitney fortaleció la preparación de la flota polaca al entregar motores F100 para los F-16 y firmar un acuerdo con los Trabajos de Aviación Militar No. 2 para explorar capacidades de mantenimiento ampliadas.

회사의 레제주오프 시설는 F100 정적 구조물, 중요한 회전 부품 및 F135 구성 요소를 생산합니다. 2024년에는 Pratt & Whitney가 폴란드의 플릿 준비 태세를 강화하기 위해 F-16용 F100 엔진을 전달하고, 제2 군용 항공기 공장과 함께 유지 보수 능력 확대를 탐색하는 계약을 체결했습니다.

Pratt & Whitney, une entreprise d'RTX, a signé une lettre d'intention avec l'Université de l'Air Polonaise pour fournir une formation sur les systèmes de propulsion des moteurs de chasse F100 et F135. Le programme se concentrera sur la conception avancée de la propulsion à réaction, la fabrication et la production de moteurs alimentant les F-16 de Pologne et les futurs F-35.

La structure de Rzeszów de l'entreprise produit des structures statiques F100, des pièces rotatives critiques et des composants F135. En 2024, Pratt & Whitney a renforcé la préparation de la flotte polonaise en livrant des moteurs F100 pour les F-16 et en signant un accord avec les Travaux d'aviation militaire n°2 pour explorer des capacités d'entretien élargies.

Pratt & Whitney, ein Unternehmen von RTX, hat einen Letter of Intent mit der Polnischen Luftwaffenuniversität unterschrieben, um Schulungen zu den Antriebssystemen der F100 und F135 Kampfjet-Triebwerke anzubieten. Das Programm wird sich auf das fortschrittliche Design, die Herstellung und Produktion von Triebwerken konzentrieren, die Polens F-16 und zukünftige F-35 antreiben.

Die Rzeszów-Anlage des Unternehmens produziert F100 statische Strukturen, kritische rotierende Teile und F135-Komponenten. Im Jahr 2024 stärkte Pratt & Whitney die Einsatzbereitschaft der polnischen Flotte, indem sie F100-Triebwerke für die F-16 lieferte und einen Vertrag mit den Militärfliegerwerken Nr. 2 unterzeichnete, um erweiterte Wartungsmöglichkeiten zu erkunden.

Lessons to focus on advanced F100 and F135 fighter engines

RZESZÓW, Poland, Dec. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Pratt & Whitney, an RTX (NYSE: RTX) business, has signed a letter of intent with the Polish Air Force University to create opportunities for cadets to learn about the advanced jet propulsion design, manufacturing and production of F100 and F135 engines, which exclusively power Poland's current F-16s and future F-35s, respectively.

"Pratt & Whitney Rzeszów is a leading aerospace company in Poland with activities covering the full life cycle of aircraft engines from design and development to production and service," said Piotr Owsicki, general director of Pratt & Whitney Rzeszów. "Our cooperation with the Polish Air Force University creates a unique educational environment, and knowledge of F100 and F135 engines will help cadets better understand the specifics of the fighter propulsion systems used by the Polish Air Force and our NATO partners."

Pratt & Whitney's Rzeszów facility produces F100 static structures and critical rotating parts in support of new F100 engines and plays an important role in worldwide sustainment. The site also produces main engine structural components and rotating parts for the F135, the world's most advanced fighter engine ever produced, which will power Poland's F-35As in the coming years.

"Graduates of the Polish Air Force University are the future military leaders responsible for growing Poland's airpower capabilities," said Brigadier General Pilot Dr. Krzysztof Cur, Commandant Rector of the Polish Air Force University. "The training courses conducted by specialists from Pratt & Whitney Rzeszów will give cadets first-hand knowledge of the engines that power the critical missions of today and tomorrow."

Throughout 2024, Pratt & Whitney worked closely with the Polish Air Force and defense industry partners to strengthen Poland's fleet readiness. In July, Pratt & Whitney delivered the first of several F100 engines to Poland for the country's F-16 fleet. Most recently, in November, Pratt & Whitney signed a letter of intent with Military Aviation Works No. 2 S.A., also known as WZL2, to explore expanded F100 maintenance repair and overhaul (MRO) capabilities. 

Should the Polish Air Force select the F-15EX to enhance its defense capabilities, the F100 engine is the best propulsion solution. The Polish Air Force's existing familiarity with the F100, coupled with the Polish industry's long-standing F100 MRO capabilities and experience, will provide the most cost effective and lowest risk path to sustaining the engines and maximizing fleet readiness for both the F-15EX and F-16.
