RTX Corp

Overview

RTX Corp. is an aerospace and defense company whose businesses are organized into three principal segments: Collins Aerospace, which supplies aerospace and defense systems and services; Pratt & Whitney, which designs, manufactures and services aircraft engines; and Raytheon, which develops defense technologies including air and missile defense, sensors, radars and space systems.[1]+3

For the year ended December 31, 2025, RTX reported $88.603 billion in net sales and approximately 180,000 employees across 52 countries, with 69% of employees based in the United States.[5][6] RTX describes its vision as contributing to a “safer, more connected world.” [7] [1]+6

Products & services

Collins Aerospace supplies aircraft systems including flight and engine controls, sensing and air-data systems, nacelles, landing gear, wheels and brakes, electrical-power and environmental-control systems, avionics, communications and navigation equipment, propellers, and cabin interiors. Its defense and infrastructure products include communications and battlespace systems, simulation and training solutions, airport integration and air-traffic-management systems. Services include spare parts, overhaul and repair, engineering and technical support, training, and fleet and asset management.[2][8]

Pratt & Whitney designs, manufactures and services commercial and military aircraft engines, smaller engines for regional, business and general aviation and helicopters, and auxiliary power units; it also provides fleet management and aftermarket maintenance, repair and overhaul.[3] Its GTF geared-turbofan family powers aircraft including the Airbus A320neo family, A220 and Embraer E-Jets E2; RTX describes the architecture as delivering up to 20% lower fuel consumption and a 75% smaller noise footprint than the prior generation. The GTF Advantage is designed for 4–8% greater takeoff thrust and improved fuel efficiency.[9][10] The F135 engine powers all three F-35 variants.[11]

Raytheon’s products include air- and missile-defense systems, missiles and smart weapons, radars and other sensors, interceptors, space systems and hypersonic technologies. Named systems include AMRAAM, StormBreaker, Patriot, LTAMDS, NASAMS, Javelin, Excalibur, Stinger, AN/TPY-2, SM-3, Tomahawk, SM-6, AIM-9X and SPY-6.[12] In FY2025, segment net sales were $30.196 billion for Collins Aerospace, $32.916 billion for Pratt & Whitney and $28.043 billion for Raytheon—33.1%, 36.1% and 30.8%, respectively, of total segment sales.[13] [2]+7

Geographic presence

In FY2025, RTX reported sales by region of 53% in the United States, 21% in Europe, 16% in Asia Pacific, 4% in the Middle East and North Africa, and 6% in other regions. The reported breakdown is regional rather than country-by-country.[14]

At year-end 2025, RTX had approximately 180,000 employees across 52 countries; 69% were in the United States.[6] Its headquarters are at 1000 Wilson Boulevard, Arlington, Virginia.[15] RTX reports 65 sites across Europe for Collins Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney, and Raytheon.[16] [6]+3

Business segments

RTX reports three principal business segments: Collins Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney, and Raytheon [1]. Collins Aerospace provides aerospace and defense products and aftermarket services, including aircraft systems, avionics, interiors, communications and navigation, space, and defense mission systems [2]. Pratt & Whitney focuses on engines for commercial, military, business-jet, and general-aviation aircraft, auxiliary power units, and related fleet support and aftermarket services [3]. Raytheon focuses on detecting, tracking, and mitigating threats, with offerings that include air and missile defense, smart weapons, missiles, sensors and radars, space systems, and hypersonics [4].

For FY2025, Collins Aerospace reported $30.196 billion in sales, approximately 33.1% of the $91.155 billion total for the three segments; Pratt & Whitney reported $32.916 billion, approximately 36.1%; and Raytheon reported $28.043 billion, approximately 30.8% [17]. These percentages are calculated as each segment’s sales divided by the reported segment-sales total, before eliminations and other [17]. [1]+7

Company history

Raytheon’s lineage began in 1922, when Laurence Marshall, Vannevar Bush and Charles G. Smith founded American Appliance Company. Pratt & Whitney, another major predecessor, was founded in 1925.[18][19]

The company’s other principal lineage began with United Aircraft Corporation, incorporated in 1934 and renamed United Technologies Corporation (UTC) in 1975. Raytheon expanded its defense-electronics business in 1997 through acquisitions of Texas Instruments’ defense business and Hughes Electronics’ defense business. UTC later acquired Rockwell Collins in 2018, adding its aerospace and avionics operations.[20]+3

On April 3, 2020, UTC completed the spin-offs of Otis and Carrier and merged with Raytheon Company, creating Raytheon Technologies Corporation. The company’s legal name became RTX Corporation in 2023.[24][25] [18]+7
