Fly Fast, But Tarry
ABSTRACT
Pratt &Whitney is betting that during the next decade, the penny-pinching Pentagon will invest at least some new money
in long-range strike and long-range reconnaissance. To cover those distinctly different design requirements for propulsion
systems, company researchers think they can produce derivatives to meet both needs from the engine they designed for the
stealthy F/A-22 Raptor.
