Robert Saia was on the forefront as leader of the team that developed Pratt & Whitney's PurePower Geared TurboFan (GTF) engine family. The GTF engines have been one of the most important developments in the aviation industry as it reduced fuel consumption by up to 16%, regulated emissions by up to 50% and airport community noise by 75%.

To date, Pratt & Whitney launched six PurePower Geared TurboFan (GTF) engine models for 12 different aircraft models and has received over 6,000 PurePower engine orders and commitments. These consecutive engine roll-outs further justify Pratt & Whitney's technological capabilities and commitment to deliver exceptional customer value.

Pratt & Whitney is among the world's leading suppliers of aircraft engines for the commercial, military, business jet and general aviation markets. Pratt & Whitney's Global Services provide maintenance, repair and overhaul services, including the sale of spare parts, as well as fleet management services for large commercial engines.

Based in Hartford, CT, its parent firm United Technologies provides high-end technology products and services to the building systems and aerospace industries worldwide. The company is a diversified business conglomerate serving various end markets such as aerospace, defense and commercial construction. The business diversification allows United Technologies to remain profitable amid a challenging macroeconomic environment.
