About Pratt & Whitney

Pratt & Whitney was first formed in 1925 when Frederick Rentschler, Edward Deeds, and Gordon Rentschler formed the Pratt & Whitney Aircraft Company with the help of Pratt & Whitney Machine Tool. The company’s initial product was the R-1340 Wasp, an aircraft engine that was used to power various flights and revolutionized American aviation. After the success of the R-1340 Wasp, Pratt & Whitney went on to release the R-985 Junior, and later an entire Wasp series. To this day, the Wasp series serves as the engine for many agricultural aircraft around the world. In 1929, Pratt & Whitney left Pratt & Whitney Machine Tools, merging with companies such as Boeing to form the United Aircraft and Transport Corporation (UATC). Pratt & Whitney kept their name, though five years later UATC was broken up and Pratt & Whitney merged with other manufacturers to form the United Aircraft Corporation. Recently, Pratt & Whitney has worked with the US Defense Department and other clients as they continue their business and development.
