HUNTSVILLE, Ala., Feb. 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the
Advanced Turbine Engine Company (ATEC), a joint venture between
Honeywell International Inc. (NYSE: HON) and Pratt & Whitney, a
division of United Technologies Corporation (NYSE: UTX), was
notified by the U.S. Army that it was not selected for the
Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) phase of the
Improved Turbine Engine Program (ITEP).
"We were disappointed to learn that the U.S. Army did not select
our offering, the dual-spool T900," said Craig Madden, president of ATEC. "We believe
that we offered the most advanced, capable and lowest risk engine
for ITEP for the Army to improve the overall performance of its
Apache and Black Hawk fleets."
The ATEC joint venture brings together the world-class
engineering, production and manufacturing capabilities of two
industry-leading companies. ATEC remains fully committed to
performing on current and future Army programs to provide critical
capabilities to the Army's aviators.
