Hermeus to manufacture Pratt & Whitney's F100-PW-229 engine under new production licensing agreement
Pratt & Whitney, an RTX business, and Hermeus have signed a Production License Agreement authorizing Hermeus to manufacture the F100-PW-229, one of the U.S. military's most widely fielded fighter engines, creating a new qualified U.S. production source. The F100 has powered the Air Force's F-15 and F-16 for more than five decades and logged more than 32 million flight hours; it also powers Hermeus' Quarterhorse, which achieved supersonic flight earlier this year as the first privately developed unmanned supersonic jet.
