Joint Strike Fighter Pratt & Whitney has a $4.8 billion contract to  develop the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) propulsion system, with a production start date in 2007. Up to 6,000 JSF engines could be produced over the program's life. Hamilton Sundstrand anticipates up to $190 million in contracts to supply the 60 C-17s with electrical and emergency power systems, engine controls, fuel pumps, data management computers and other equipment. Under another military contract announced in August, Hamilton Sundstrand will provide the U.S. Army with $70 million in advanced flight control computers for Black Hawk helicopters. While commercial airlines retrenched in 2002, Pratt & Whitney and Hamilton Sundstrand both won significant new contracts. Pratt & Whitney won orders to build PW4084D engines for Vietnam Airlines; PW4090 engines for All Nippon Airways; and, along with its International Aero Engines partners, V2500® engines for Airbus A320 series aircraft for Air New Zealand, Middle East Airlines and JetBlue. Combined, these and other engine orders are potentially worth more than  $2 billion over the next decade. In addition, The Engine Alliance, of which Pratt and General Electric are equal partners, won an order in February to build GP7000 engines for 22 Airbus A380-800 aircraft destined for Emirates airline and an order in July to build engines for 10 A380-800F aircraft for FedEx. With options for additional aircraft, the contracts potentially are worth a combined  $2.5 billion to the alliance. Hamilton Sundstrand won contracts for additional equipment on the Airbus A380 jumbo plane, which is scheduled to carry passengers starting in 2006. The company’s Nord-Micro unit in Germany received a contract to provide cabin pressure control, ventilation control and avionics ventilation systems. Hamilton Sundstrand’s Ratier-Figeac subsidiary in France was chosen to supply throttle control assemblies. In addition, Hamilton Sundstrand was tapped in 2002 to supply the Ram Air Turbine (RAT) emergency electrical generating system – after winning contracts in 2001 to provide the auxiliary power unit (APU), air management system and actuation equipment – and was selected to supply the complete engine control suite for Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engines powering the A380. The company also is supplying the engine fuel pump and gearbox for the Pratt & Whitney-General Electric alliance’s GP7000 engine competing to power the 550-plus passenger airliner. The value  of Hamilton Sundstrand’s A380 contracts, when combined with aftermarket and spare parts, is projected to exceed $2 billion over the life of the program. Also in 2002, Hamilton Sundstrand won contracts worth $115 million to supply RAT systems and engine fuel controls for Dassault Aviation’s new Falcon 7X corporate jet over the program’s life. Hamilton Sundstrand’s noncommercial-aerospace units also recorded multimillion-dollar  contract wins. California-based Sensor Systems was chosen to provide key instrumentation for a new NASA orbiting observatory that will study carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The contract is expected to generate more than $20 million in revenue. Sensor Systems also won a contract to  provide the U.S. Army with a device that detects chemical and biological agents. The company has developed and demonstrated a commercial version prototype as well, with potential homeland security applications. Also, Hamilton Sundstrand’s Dosapro Milton Roy industrial unit won the largest order in its history – a $5.4 million contract to provide injection systems for a Middle Eastern natural gas pumping project. 2002 year in review 11
