East Hartford, CT – Today, Rep. John B. Larson (CT-01) released the following statement after the unveiling of the B-21 bomber, powered by Pratt & Whitney engines.  

“The B-21 Raider is the first new U.S. strategic bomber in decades and will play a critical role in U.S. deterrence and national security,” said Larson. “It will be powered by Pratt & Whitney’s venerable military engines, which support 27,000 jobs across Connecticut and generate more than half a billion dollars in direct spending in the state. Connecticut has the best machinists and engineers in the world. Alongside House Armed Services Committee member, Rep. Joe Courtney, I am proud to support their work building the best equipment for our warfighters.”
