the nature of united technologies /  pratt & whitney Pratt Power The Bombardier JetTrain* locomotive is the first application of Pratt & Whitney’s ST40 gas turbine in a high-speed passenger train. The ST40 is a lightweight alternative for high-speed  rail, at one-tenth the size  and 38,000 pounds lighter than standard diesel train engines of equivalent power. Mothers of Invention Kathy Spink, Debra Desrocher and Archie Deskus took the initiative to develop the Supplier Direct Ship information system, which tracks inventory and parts at both Pratt & Whitney and Hamilton Sundstrand, saving time, and – best of all – millions of dollars. Pratt Canada The Pratt & Whitney Canada- powered Cessna Citation Sovereign business jet  successfully completed  its first flight in February. The new jet will enter  service in 2004.  Atlas V The newest member of the Atlas family, a Lockheed Martin Atlas V successfully  placed a European television satellite into orbit. The first stage was powered by the RD-180 engine produced by RD AMROSS, LLC, a joint venture of Pratt & Whitney and NPO Energomash of Russia. The upper stage was powered by a Pratt RL10A-4-2 engine. *Trademark of Bombardier Inc. 10 united technologies corporation
