Pratt & Whitney has been awarded an additional $339 million to a previous contract to build engines for the Department of Defense’s (DoD) F-35 Joint Strike Fighter aircraft program.
The company has been contracted to build spare engines, spare modules and spare parks to support the terms of the existing contract, according to a DoD release Wednesday.
The work should be completed by 2020.
The awarded funds stem from an order Pratt & Whitney obtained by the DoD in February.
