The goal is to reduce costs and shorten engine development deadlines, which will be used in future aircraft aircraft. According to Jill Albertelli, president of Pratt & Whitney’s military engines division, the use of models -based design has doubled the delivery speed of technical packages and facilitates the integration of different areas of the project.
More than 1,000 engineers and employees, along with more than 100 suppliers, are involved in the project, which received investments over $ 30 million this year. The NGAP team now works to review assembly readiness, which will define the prototype construction and testing schedule, scheduled for the late 2020s.
