WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Pratt & Whitney, a unit of
United Technologies Corp, has been awarded a $2.7 billion U.S. defense contract
for F117 engine sustainment for the C-17 Globemaster transport aircraft, the
Pentagon said in a statement on Wednesday.
The contract involves sustainment of engines on aircraft
sold to Britain, Canada, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, India and
Australia as part of U.S. foreign military sales, the statement said.
(The story corrects to show contract is for sustainment
of engines on C-17 aircraft, not F-117 stealth aircraft)
