Raytheon Technologies business Pratt & Whitney officially opened the doors to its new India Engineering Centre (IEC) in Bengaluru. The facility is co-located with Pratt & Whitney’s India Capabilities Centre (ICC), which opened in 2022 to provide integrated global supply chain support, and the recently inaugurated Collins Aerospace engineering and global operations centres.
“The Indian aviation market is growing at a rapid pace and Bengaluru is a hub for that growth,” said Geoff Hunt, senior vice president, Engineering, Pratt & Whitney. “The work conducted at the IEC – by some of India’s best and brightest minds – will support cutting edge technology that will drive the future of flight.”
Work performed at the IEC will encompass elements such as aero and mechanical and control systems for various products in the company’s portfolio of large and small commercial engines. It will also extend across the entire product lifecycle from development to field support and sustainment, as per the statement.
“The IEC team will be key to improving commercial engine performance, extending time on wing, reducing airline operating costs, and decreasing fuel consumption,” said Paul Weedon, vice president, Engine Development, Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp.
