About this award

Written by GovTribe AI ·

NASA Glenn Research Center awarded a $2.17 million definitive cost-sharing contract to RTX Corporation's Pratt & Whitney division on October 1, 2021, for Phase 1 of the Hybrid Thermally Efficient Core (HyTEC) project. The work is being performed in Hartford, Connecticut and is scheduled for completion by February 28, 2025. This contract supports NASA's Advanced Air Vehicles Program, which aims to accelerate development of small turbofan engine core technologies capable of delivering a 5-10% fuel burn improvement compared to 2020 best-in-class engines for single-aisle aircraft entering service in the early 2030s. The cost-sharing arrangement reflects a collaborative partnership between NASA and industry to advance next-generation propulsion systems.

No set-aside designation was applied to this contract award. As a major aerospace and defense contractor, Pratt & Whitney brings extensive expertise in advanced propulsion system development and engine core manufacturing, supported by its significant federal contracting relationships and ongoing research initiatives in materials science and turbine technologies. The Phase 1 award represents an initial investment in demonstrating the technical feasibility and performance benefits of the HyTEC core design, which aligns with broader federal objectives to enhance fuel efficiency and sustainability in commercial aviation.
