Development of the F119 was conducted at Pratt & Whitney's West Palm Beach, FL, facility, while production takes place at the company's factories in Middletown, CT. Advanced technologies incorporated in the F119 include integrated flight-propulsion controls and two-dimensional, thrust-vectoring engine nozzles, which give the F-22 unprecedented aircraft maneuverability. The F-22 incorporates a pair of new, higher thrust-to-weight engines, the Pratt & Whitney F119-PW-100, which is designed for efficient supersonic operation without afterburner (called supercruise), and with increased durability over current engines.
