Pratt & Whitney says staff manipulated engine test results

  • USA: Tuesday, March 05 - 2013 at 05:35

US jet engine manufacturer Pratt & Whitney has said it has uncovered fraudulent testing of engine parts, but that no recalls or other problems resulted, the Associated Press has reported. The company said an internal investigation found that employees had altered data to minimise the need for additional testing. In June 2011, Pratt & Whitney's subsidiary of United Technologies Corp initiated an internal investigation when an employee anonymously alleged that test data had been altered over 15 years at Carmel Forge, another United Technologies unit, in Israel.
