DutchAero, a daughter company of the Eindhoven based KMWE Group, will be building the F135 engine Nozzle for the next ten years. Pratt & Whitney, a United Technologies Corp. company, has awarded a new contract to KMWE Group to manufacture F135 engine Nozzle fabrications. The F135 engine is the propulsion system for the fifth generation F-35 Lightning II aircraft, the JSF. <\/p>\n
DutchAero is specialist in exhaust nozzles since 1976 and this agreement positions KMWE Group well to become a key F135 Nozzle partner and signals a strengthened relationship between Pratt & Whitney and KMWE Group.<\/p>\n
\u201cSince over 40 years we are manufacturing the complex fabrications for the Nozzle of the F16 Fighting Falcon. We are delighted to strengthen our relationship with Pratt & Whitney, taking DutchAero\u2019s unique aero-engine capabilities into the next era with this extended F135 contract\u201d, said Edward Voncken, CEO of KMWE Group. \u201cThis long-term arrangement for exhaust Nozzle components for the F135 confirms the excellent, world-class competencies we have in DutchAero and ensure the growth of local high-skilled jobs. This contract complements our existing agreement signed in January 2016 with Pratt & Whitney for complex machined parts.\u201d<\/p>\n
As one of the original nine partner nations for the F-35, the Netherlands is a key contributor to the development, production, and sustainment of the F-35 program. The current program of record for the Netherlands is for the procurement of at least 37 F-35A aircraft. <\/p>\n
\f\u201cFollowing a competitive bidding process, Pratt & Whitney identified DutchAero as a best-value supplier for the nozzle fabrication for the F135 engine,\u201d said O Sung Kwon, Executive Director, Business Development and International Programs, Pratt & Whitney Military Engines. \u201cWe are delighted to be working with the DutchAero team to enhance and strengthen our global supply chain, reduce costs and deliver world-class engines to our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n
