    "post_text": "For the first time ever, Pratt & Whitney has licensed another American company to manufacture its F100 fighter jet engines.\n\nThat company is Hermeus. \n\nDomestic propulsion has been running up against a severe supply crunch. For us, engine availability was directly threatening to bottleneck Quarterhorse scaling and production. \n\nBy bringing production in-house, Hermeus becomes the first vertically integrated airframer capable of building its own propulsion. It secures our flight-test and production timelines for Quarterhorse, while adding critical, high-rate manufacturing capacity back into the broader American defense industrial base.\n \nHuge thank you to the Pratt & Whitney team for trusting us with this legacy and partnering with us to expand domestic aerospace manufacturing.  \n\nPictured: Hermeus CEO, Zach Shore, and Vice President of Fighter & Mobility Programs at Pratt & Whitney, Jessica Villardi, at AFA.",
