These are required to verify, design, and test new proposed engineering solutions. Privately developed data, materials, and design processes are the sole property of Hamilton. These provide Hamilton with the unique ability to identify and correct problems with the T56 Propeller.

Value counts single-winner awards. "Shared" awards are multiple-award contracts that list every winner with the same total ceiling; that ceiling is not one company's win, so it is not added in. Revenue next to a ticker is the company's last annual revenue from its 10-K.
- $GE reported $50.6B revenue (12 months to Jun 30, 2026). The median single-winner award in these 5 past awards, $3.3M, is under 0.1% of that. SEC filing
One award's total value against one year of revenue; many awards are paid over several years.
