Raytheon Technologies‘ Pratt & Whitney business has secured a contract to demonstrate a rotating engine detonation concept for the Air Force Research Laboratory in an effort to create an engine capable of supporting higher-Mach flight speeds.

Dave Stagney, director of Pratt & Whitney’s GatorWorks prototyping unit, said his team completed the project’s initial concept ahead of schedule and will continue to accelerate the program’s pace via digital and agile methods.

“Given the need for this critical engine technology, the Raytheon Technologies team will utilize its advanced resources and expertise to meet the technical objectives in an expeditious fashion,” Stagney added.
