Pratt & Whitney respects the process outlined by the Canadian Government to hold a competition to replace its aging CF-18 fighter fleet. We also recognize that, as a partner in the F-35 program, Canadian industry is providing advanced manufacturing and engineering technologies critical to the F-35 and its Pratt & Whitney F135 engine. As recent competitions have confirmed, the Pratt & Whitney powered F-35 is the safest, most capable, and best value fighter aircraft in the world. Today, the F135 engine meets its key operational performance, reliability, and affordability requirements for an expanding global fleet and we believe that a fair and open competition will demonstrate that the F-35 Lightning II is the best long-term solution for Canada’s security needs.
