Pratt & Whitney celebrated the opening of its new 845,000-square-foot facility in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, solidifying its position as the business’s largest military engines field location. The $255 million investment will enable Pratt & Whitney to meet the growing demands of both U.S. and global defense customers for the F135, F117, TF33, F100 and F119 engines.
Pratt & Whitney’s Oklahoma City site is home to over 500 full-time employees, with an additional 500 contract and partner employees. This investment will create an additional 100 full-time jobs over the next five years.
The site features automation and advanced technologies that will streamline processes, improving accuracy, speed and cost-effectiveness. It also incorporates LEED-certified energy-efficient systems and waste reduction processes, reflecting RTX’s commitment to sustainability and operational efficiency.
Located alongside Tinker Air Force Base, the largest maintenance, repair, and overhaul facility for the U.S. Department of Defense, the new site will enhance the business’ global sustainment network and support the public-private partnership between Pratt & Whitney and the U.S. Air Force. This Oklahoma City facility is strategically positioned to meet current and future sustainment demands, supporting engines for the F-35, F-22, C-17, B-52, E-3, F-15, F-16 and more.
