The Pratt & Whitney Valox™ engine family, scalable from 500 to 1,800 pounds of thrust, is being designed to power a range of platforms, from effectors to autonomous collaborative platforms and other emerging applications. These engines are optimized across performance, cost, and life to deliver capability at the speed and scale required.
Purpose-built propulsion
The Pratt & Whitney Valox engine family represents a departure from traditional engine design and development in several ways:
- Development cycles measured in months, not years
- Digital engineering and collaborative digital environments used from day one
- Incorporation of additive manufacturing to accelerate development timelines and increase production flexibility
