At Dependable Engines Association, we strive to share knowledge, and promote appreciation and awareness of Pratt & Whitney’s rich history and heritage across generations of Pratt & Whitney employees.

Join Author, Rick Warters, and Jim Speich from the Dependable Engines Association as Rick dives into the early days of Pratt & Whitney. Rick will tell the fascinating story of the founders and influencers, starting in Hamilton, Ohio, and through the 1st Wasp Engine in 1925.
