Pratt & Whitney is considering building an engine for the Airbus SAS A350 long-haul plane to challenge Rolls-Royce Holdings Plc’s monopoly on the new aircraft, people familiar with the plan said.
Pratt & Whitney would offer an engine based on its PW1000G geared turbofan technology, said the people, who asked not to be named because the plan isn’t public. A decision to formally pursue the program may come as soon as this year, one of the people said.
