A major facility for Pratt and Whitney, the aircraft and rocket engine company. This 7,000-acre installation is the company's principal military and space engine design, manufacture, test and repair facility, and has around 50 engine test stands. Major down-sizing in 1999 led to the closure of the military aircraft engine component of this facility, and the Palm Beach location is now known as the Space Propulsion Operations Headquarters.
