Pratt & Whitney selects PW500 turbofan to power Northrop Grumman’s YFQ-48A Talon Blue for USAF CCA flight evaluation
Pratt & Whitney will supply the engine for Northrop Grumman’s YFQ-48A Talon Blue, an additional design under evaluation in the U.S. Air Force’s Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) program. Northrop’s self-funded single-engine concept will use a PW500 turbofan variant as it moves into next-gen CCA flight testing.
