With a remarkable presence across 34 armed forces worldwide, Pratt & Whitney has more than 7,000 military engines in active service, propelling a diverse fleet of tactical, strategic, and mobility aircraft. Among its impressive lineup, the 5th Generation F135 engine, designed for the F-35 fighter, stands out as the most potent and advanced fighter engine globally.
The F135 engine builds upon the foundation of the proven F119 engine, inheriting its operational excellence and incorporating cutting-edge stealth capabilities. Notably, these remarkable engines were recently witnessed in action in the skies over Bengaluru, India, during Aero India 2023.
