Tail DraggerHOST
The wingspan of the P-47 was over forty feet.
Tail DraggerHOST
The engine was a Pratt & Whitney R two thousand eight hundred cubic inch double wasp, a massive eighteen cylinder radial, arranged in two rows, each cylinder the size of a coffee can, the whole assembly producing over two thousand horsepower.
Tail DraggerHOST
The aircraft weighed more than seven tons fully loaded for combat.
Tail DraggerHOST
Seven tons.
Tail DraggerHOST
He believed in raw power.
Tail DraggerHOST
He believed in the ability to absorb catastrophic damage and keep flying.
Tail DraggerHOST
The airframe was built around that enormous Pratt & Whitney engine.
Tail DraggerHOST
The fuselage was wide enough to house a turbo supercharger system that gave the P-47 its performance edge at altitude, and the whole thing was wrapped in enough aluminum to make lesser designs weep.
Tail DraggerHOST
It first flew on July 15th, 1954.
Tail DraggerHOST
Four Pratt & Whitney turbojet engines under swept wings.
Tail DraggerHOST
A swept tail, a pressurized cabin.
Tail DraggerHOST
It was unlike any airliner that had flown before it in American commercial service.
Tail DraggerHOST
Length, two hundred and eighteen feet from bow to tail, taller than a six-story building measured keel to fin tip.
Tail DraggerHOST
Eight engines, Pratt and Whitney R-4360 Wasp Major radials, each one producing three thousand horsepower at takeoff, twenty-four thousand total horsepower driving eight propellers, each seventeen feet across.
Tail DraggerHOST
Design payload, seven hundred and fifty fully equipped troops or two M4 Sherman tanks carried across the Atlantic Ocean.
Tail DraggerHOST
The war ended in August of 1945.
Adam EisenbergGUEST
I worked at UPS and their supply chain wing as a kind of a senior level mid manager.
Adam EisenbergGUEST
And I worked with one of their companies, which is Pratt & Whitney.
Adam EisenbergGUEST
Pratt & Whitney is a manufacturer of commercial and defensive jet engines.
Adam EisenbergGUEST
And so at that facility, I became very familiar with airline parts.
Adam EisenbergGUEST
And it was almost like fate's way of saying, you know, you don't believe that a plane hit the building.
Paul MasonGUEST
They self-monitor, they feedback information in real time to Boeing, to GE, HQ, or to...
Paul MasonGUEST
Pratt & Whitney so that's number one collapsing production cost and as Roma and Drucker both predicted some of these production costs collapsed towards the asymptotic level of zero Reproduction cost.
Paul MasonGUEST
That's point one.
Paul MasonGUEST
Second, and this is a different thing, it creates utility for free in the form of spillovers.
MattHOST
This does come with caution.
MattHOST
hopefully the training center or the airline that you're doing your course with will send you a pre-pack with all the information on which things to do and which things to avoid but just be very careful some of the uh online learning softwares will have both of the different engine options so iae cfm leap 1a and the pratt and whitney so you've got sort of on the neos two engine options and on the ceo two engine options make sure that you do the training on the one of which your airline has if you're not sure leave the engine section out and just do everything else because what you don't want to do is learn the wrong engine because it's all about different numbers and they'll get stuck in your head and you'll just make life harder for yourself My next tip, which involves some shameless self-promotion, is to go back and listen to all of our podcasts.
MattHOST
We've got a huge back catalogue there, well worth listening to lots of those.
MattHOST
36 plus hours of podcasts you can listen to.
Sarah ChenHOST
It's worth noting that RTX was down about 1.5% for the week, a much smaller move than either GE or Homet.
Sarah ChenHOST
RTX has its own internal casting and components capability through Pratt & Whitney's supply chain relationships.
Sarah ChenHOST
The relative resilience there might suggest the market views this as more of a GE-specific competitive move than a sector-wide restructuring.
Mike TorresHOST
Or RTX is just a bigger company with more diversification across defense and commercial, so the magnitude of the signal gets diluted.
Vago MuradianHOST
Anyway, what is the impact of everything getting more expensive on the one hand and then the U.S.-Canada trade war on the other, which is also making everything more expensive for an industrial base that is a conjoined industrial base? I mean, Bell has facilities on the other side of the border.
Vago MuradianHOST
Pratt & Whitney has one of its biggest engine plants on the other side of the border.
Vago MuradianHOST
Anyway, discuss.
Vago MuradianHOST
You know where this is going.

Ron EpsteinPANELIST
I would imagine that's probably the case.
Ron EpsteinPANELIST
But also, I think this is assured supply.
Ron EpsteinPANELIST
When you look at the other engine OEs, you know, Pratt & Whitney has made internally some castings and you know, blades and veins for years, literally decades, right? They opened a new facility in North Carolina a couple of years ago and they're expanding it.
Ron EpsteinPANELIST
Rolls-Royce has a capacity to do it.
Michael PolandGUEST
And that was another unique problem because I used the, I used the Black Dog engine set, which had the engine bay resin.
Michael PolandGUEST
And then they had the engine for the Pratt & Whitney, but I needed the GE engine.
Michael PolandGUEST
So that's where the Remoco engine came in because it was the GE, but then it didn't fit into the engine bay that Black Dog made.
Michael PolandGUEST
And so I had to sand that out in order to be able to fit the engine in from that to kind of modify that resin part within the fuselage.
Tail DraggerHOST
It wasn't the smooth musical note of a Merlin.
Tail DraggerHOST
It wasn't the big American bark of a Pratt & Whitney double wasp.
Tail DraggerHOST
This was harder, more mechanical.
Tail DraggerHOST
A sound with edges on it, like the engine was doing something serious and it wanted you to know.
