RTX Group’s Pratt & Whitney has opened its new 78000-square-foot facility in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, solidifying its position as the company’s largest military engine field location. The $255 million investment will enable Pratt & Whitney to meet the growing demands of U.S. and global defense customers for the F135, F117, TF33, F100 and F119 engines.
Pratt & Whitney’s Oklahoma City location is home to more than 500 full-time employees, with an additional 500 contract employees and partners. This investment will create an additional 100 full-time jobs over the next five years.
The site features advanced automation and technologies that will streamline processes, improving accuracy, speed and cost-effectiveness. It also incorporates LEED-certified energy efficiency systems and waste reduction processes.
Located adjacent to Tinker Air Force Base, the U.S. Department of Defense’s largest maintenance, repair and overhaul facility, the new location will enhance the business’s global sustainment network and the public-private partnership between Pratt & Whitney and the U.S. Air Force. The Oklahoma City facility is strategically positioned to meet current and future sustainment demands, ing engines for the F-35, F-22, C-17, B-52, E-3, F-15, F-16 and more.
