RTX’s Pratt & Whitney business has concluded a critical design assessment of its engine offering for the U.S. Air Force’s future next-generation air dominance aircraft. The milestone marks a key step in bringing the company’s engine prototype, dubbed XA103, closer to completing a detailed design review as part of the service branch’s Next-Generation Adaptive Propulsion program, RTX said Monday.
“Like all programs, the continuing resolution has the potential to have an impact. We have not worked through all the details if we had a sequestration scenario,” Pratt & Whitney's Jennifer Latka said about a stalled budget on Capitol Hill. “What I know now is that our schedule is on track, that we have identified funding to continue, and that’s not to say that that situation cannot change.”
