In October 2014, Pratt & Whitney was awarded a $592 million contract with [[United States Department of Defense|Department of Defense]] (DoD) to supply 36 [[F135]] engines for the [[Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II|F-35]] fighter.<ref>{{cite press release |publisher=Reuters| date=14 October 2014 |title= Pratt & Whitney signs $592 million deal with Pentagon for next F-35 engines |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-pentagon-fighterplane-idUSKCN0I32N820141014 }}</ref>
