Session 5 of 6: Pratt and Whitney
This is session 5 of 6 of our CT Innovation & Industry series with Art Gottlieb.
This program will feature the history of Pratt and Whitney, headquartered in East Harford. Now a subsidiary of United Technologies, Pratt and Whitney was a pioneer in the development in air- cooled radial engines for aircraft and continues today as a major worldwide supplier of engines and powerplants for military and commercial use.
