Collins' F-35 Power Upgrade Rises to New Heights
Collins Aerospace's RTX division has completed altitude tests for its proposed Enhanced Power and Cooling System (EPACS) upgrade for the F-35 stealth fighter.
The system aims to significantly increase electrical power and thermal management onboard, vying with incumbent Honeywell to upgrade the F-35's power system.
Collins Aerospace is competing against Honeywell for this contract, and the outcome will be crucial for the future of the F-35 program.
