The bald eagle is a majestic symbol of power and freedom. It’s also the logo of one of America’s oldest aerospace manufacturers: Pratt & Whitney. The 89-year-old company is a leading producer of jet engines for many types of commercial and military aircraft.
Pratt & Whitney, a $15 billion division of United Technologies Corp., is in the process of ramping up production on a cutting-edge product called the geared turbofan engine. It offers dramatic reductions in noise, emissions and fuel burn.
