Pratt & Whitney delivered the 400th F119 engine, which powers the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor, to the U.S. Air Force.

This milestone delivery marks a significant accomplishment for the only operational Fifth Generation Fighter Engine in service today and demonstrates the maturity of this highly advanced Propulsion System.

"The F119 logbook continues to grow, surpassing more than 125,000 operational flight hours. Delivery of this 400th F119 engine is tangible proof of the maturity of this Fifth Generation Engine," said Tyler Evans, F119 Program Director. "We are proud of our ongoing partnership with the U.S. Air Force and Lockheed Martin, and this delivery reinforces our commitment to on-time delivery of quality Propulsion Systems to our valued customer."
