Pratt & Whitney has secured a contract valued at up to $1.5 billion for the maintenance and support of F119 engines powering the US Air Force’s F-22 Raptor fighter jets.  

The RTX subsidiary explained that its three-year contract will support initiatives aimed at improving operational readiness and reducing costs related to the F119 fleet. This fleet includes over 400 engines and has accumulated more than 900,000 flight hours. 

“The F119’s readiness and reliability rates have never been more important, and we are improving both while lowering lifecycle costs,” said Jill Albertelli, president of Military Engines at Pratt & Whitney. “We are committed to helping our U.S. Air Force customer maintain the F-22’s combat edge.”
