Woodward Governor Company (NASDAQ: WGOV) announced today that
Hamilton Sundstrand selected the company as its exclusive provider
of specific engine components for the Pratt & Whitney
PurePower(TM) engine program.
Woodward will provide Hamilton Sundstrand high- and low-pressure
stator vane actuators and oil valve packages. The PurePower engine
family includes the new PW1000 engine for the MRJ (Mitsubishi
Regional Jet) and the Bombardier CSeries single-aisle aircraft
families, both launched last year, as well as an Advanced Turbofan
engine.
"Woodward will be a significant contributor to the PurePower
engine family with our advanced technologies in actuation controls
and accessories," says Marty Glass, Woodward Group Vice President,
Turbine Systems. "These engines promise new levels of fuel
efficiency and low emissions to an industry in critical need of
these solutions."
"We're pleased to have Woodward as our supplier on the systems
that Hamilton Sundstrand provides for Pratt & Whitney's
PurePower engine family," says Steve Peery, Vice President Hamilton
Sundstrand Engine Systems.
Combined with the fuel nozzles for the PurePower, awarded to
Woodward by Pratt & Whitney last year, Woodward expects the
value of these programs to be more than $500 million in original
equipment and aftermarket revenue over 20 years.
