Pratt & Whitney Opens Largest Military Engine Facility In Oklahoma

845,000 Square Foot Facility Meets Demands For Multiple Engine Types

Pratt & Whitney announced the opening of its largest facility for manufacturing military jet engines in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, adjacent to Tinker Air Force Base.

The $255 million facility boasts 845,000 square feet and is capable of meeting the demands of both U.S. and global defense users of the F135, F117, TF33, F100, and F119 engines. It features advanced technologies and automation that streamline processes and improves accuracy, speed, and cost-effectiveness. It also has energy-efficient systems and waste reduction for better sustainability.

Tinker AFB is the largest MRO facility for the Department of Defense (DoD) and is positioned strategically to meet current and future support demands for F-35, F-22, C-17, B-52, E-3, F-15, F-16, and other aircraft.

Pratt & Whitney was recently awarded a contract renewal for $1.3 billion to deliver the F135 Engine Core Upgrade (ECU) which provides additional durability to the engine for the F-35 Lightning II. It also provides better power and cooling for Block 4 and beyond for all three variants of the global F-35 program. The company has to date delivered more than 1,200 F135 engines.

The F100s are also rolling off the production line according to the company, with delivery of another F-16 engine to Poland in July 2024. The F100 powers F-15 and F-16 fleets globally and has flown more than 30 million engine flight hours.
