In a significant development for the aerospace industry, GE Transportation Engine Company has selected Hamilton-Sundstrand—owned by United Technologies Corporation—to supply fuel pump systems for the F136 engine, which is part of the GE/RORO Fighter Engine Group. This partnership marks an important step in the ongoing efforts to support advanced fighter jet technology.
The F136 engine is specifically designed for the Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF), one of the most advanced and versatile combat aircraft in the world. As part of this collaboration, Hamilton Sundstrand will be responsible for the design, development, and certification of critical fuel system components for the F136, including three fuel pumps, control valves, and filtration systems. These components are essential for delivering fuel to the main combustion chamber, afterburner, and other key parts of the engine.
According to Hamilton Sundstrand, the total value of the contract is expected to surpass $400 million over the lifespan of the F-35 program. The initial production of the F136 fuel pump systems is scheduled to begin in 2012, signaling a major milestone in the integration of these high-performance engines into the U.S. military's future airpower strategy.
This agreement highlights the growing importance of reliable and efficient fuel systems in modern aviation and underscores the strategic role of companies like Hamilton Sundstrand in supporting next-generation defense technologies.
