As per the deal, Pratt & Whitney will be paying $1.5bn to Rolls-Royce. It has further come to light that the due are considering indulging into joint venture with the aim of creating new generation engines for the medium sized aircrafts.

The duo is hopeful that in the coming 20 years, there will be a large demand of medium sized aircrafts. If the demand of the medium sized aircraft surges then there is a possibility of the Airbus A320 and the Boeing 737 demands surfacing a decline.
