About this award
NASA Glenn Research Center awarded RTX Corporation's Pratt & Whitney division a $4.44 million definitive contract on October 1, 2021, for Phase 1 of the Hybrid Thermally Efficient Core (HyTEC) project. The contract, which operates under a cost-sharing pricing arrangement with no small business set-aside, supports NASA's Advanced Air Vehicles Program objective to accelerate development of small turbofan engine core technologies. Work is being performed at Pratt & Whitney's Hartford, Connecticut facility, with an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2025. The project aims to demonstrate a 5–10% fuel burn benefit compared to 2020 best-in-class engines for single-aisle aircraft scheduled to enter service in the early 2030s through collaborative industry development efforts.
As the prime contractor, Pratt & Whitney leverages its extensive expertise in advanced propulsion systems and aircraft engine manufacturing to advance next-generation turbofan core technologies under this cost-sharing arrangement with NASA. This contract represents a strategic partnership between the federal government and a major aerospace propulsion manufacturer to accelerate innovation in commercial aviation efficiency, aligning with NASA's broader objectives to reduce fuel consumption and environmental impact of future single-aisle aircraft fleets.
