FARNBOROUGH AIRSHOW - Today, Pratt & Whitney and IAE International Aero Engines (IAE) shareholders, Japanese Aero Engines Corporation and MTU Aero Engines GmbH, announced details of the June 29 closing of Pratt & Whitney’s agreement to purchase Rolls-Royce’s program share in the IAE Collaboration. Pratt & Whitney has increased its program share to 61 percent and MTU Aero Engines has increased its program share from 11 to 16 percent via a separate risk revenue sharing agreement with Pratt & Whitney. In addition, IAE announced that the IAE board of directors has named Pratt & Whitney President David Hess Chairman of the board of directors and Jon Beatty as the new IAE president.
