Honeywell Proposes F-35 Power and Cooling System Upgrade
Honeywell is proposing an upgrade to the F-35 power and cooling system, which would increase onboard cooling capacity by 25%. The proposed 'P40' upgrade is separate from a previously contracted upgrade to the F135 engine. This move aims to improve the fighter's performance.
The Pentagon has already partnered with Pratt & Whitney for the engine upgrade. However, this new proposal targets the cooling system specifically, indicating a focus on optimizing overall system efficiency.
