Pratt & Whitney Aircraft, the worlds foremost
designer and builder Of all types of flight pro-
pulsion systems, offers many exciting and chal-
longing opportunities. Noted for its 80 years OF
engineering stability the company is expanding
its engineering program and has need for engl-
neers in the development Of air-breathng, non
air-breathng and liquid and solid rocket engines.
Our Connecticut Aircraft Nuclear Engine Labora-
tory (CANEL) is also working on the development
Of nuclear powered engines. In addition, we are
carrying on analytical and experimental investi-
cations in numerous other fields, including direct
energy conversion solar systems and plaSma and
ion propulsion.
EXPERIMENTAL ENGINEERING :.
s Performance and development Of advanced air.
breathing rocket engines nuclear power plants and
components. Development of control systems and
components for advanced propulsion systems.
PROPULSION SYSTEMS ANALYSIS -.
Includes complete programs of preliminary design
analysis structures research flight dynamics, flight
path optimzaton, and system evaluaton studies for
both ar-breathing and breathing propulsion
systems.
HEAT TRANSFER RESEARCH :.
Analysis Of heat transfer problems arising from Of
high energy propeants in rocket engines from use
Of liquid metal cooants in nucear power plants
Icudes studies Of the suitability Of using propeants
for coolantS and the solution Of 2 or 3-dimensiona
transient heat flow problems.
MECHANICAL DESIGN
Includes all aspects of mechanical design on air.
breathing and notwithstanding propulsion systems
as well components for advanced power conversion
systems.
