    "excerpt": "RTX’s Pratt & Whitney will invest $25 million to expand its manufacturing plant in Niepołomice, southern Poland, increasing production capacity for commercial and military aircraft engines. Scheduled to begin operations in 2028, the expanded facility will produce high-precision tube assemblies for various aircraft engine systems. The Niepołomice plant already produces components for several Pratt & Whitney engine families. These include the GTF engine used on commercial airliners, the PW800 for business jets, and the F135 , which powers all three variants of the F-35 Lightning II fighter. RTX said the expansion is intended to address rising demand across both its civil and defense engine programs. The Polish government is supporting the project through the Polish Investment Zone, a national program that provides incentives for new industrial investments. Combined with the $25-million Niepołomice expansion, the $100 million allocated to a separate project in Rzeszów in April brings Pratt & Whitney’s announced investments in Poland this year to $125 million. The company plans to construct a new facility for processing isothermally forged components, with operations covering heat treatment, sonic machining and inspection. Together with related capacity investments, the project is expected to help increase output of critical engine components, including rotating compressor and...",
