About this award
NASA's Glenn Research Center awarded a $1.2 million cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract to RTX Corporation's Pratt & Whitney division on September 25, 2024, for studies of advanced propulsion concepts and systems supporting the U.S. Aviation Climate Action Plan's 2050 sustainability goals. The contract, which extends through April 30, 2026, originated from NASA's Advanced Aircraft Concepts for Environmental Sustainability in 2050 (AACES 2050) initiative, a solicitation posted in July 2023 seeking conceptual designs and technologies for commercial subsonic aircraft entering service around 2050. Work will be performed at Pratt & Whitney's Hartford, Connecticut facility. No small business set-aside was utilized for this procurement, reflecting the contractor's large business status.
This award builds on Pratt & Whitney's extensive experience in advanced propulsion research and development, including recent cooperative agreements with the Department of Energy on ceramic matrix composite turbine technology for next-generation systems and collaborative efforts with leading academic institutions on hybrid electric propulsion research. As the sole source manufacturer of F-100 engine components and a major supplier of aircraft propulsion systems to federal agencies, Pratt & Whitney brings significant technical expertise to identifying critical technology enablers necessary for achieving aggressive aviation sustainability targets through 2050 and beyond.
Description
Studies of advanced propulsion concepts and systems with the goal of identifying the critical technology enablers to support the aggressive sustainability goals set for 2050 and beyond by the U.S. Aviation climate action plan.
