Competition record
RTX
Deep profile · 0 linked library matters
RTX combines Raytheon missiles, Pratt & Whitney engines, and Collins Aerospace. Airlines that fly the geared turbofan depend on Pratt's shop capacity, and the Pentagon awards the missile and sensor programs Raytheon builds.
Overview
RTX is based in Arlington, Virginia, formed when Raytheon and United Technologies combined and Carrier and Otis were spun off. Raytheon sells Patriot, AMRAAM, Tomahawk, and other missiles and sensors to the US Department of Defense and to foreign military sales customers.
Pratt & Whitney's geared turbofan powers a large share of the Airbus A320neo family, and its F135 engine powers the F-35. Airlines with geared-turbofan fleets depend on Pratt shop visits for inspections and parts, a maintenance tie that sits beside the original engine sale, while GE Aerospace and Rolls-Royce supply engines on other aircraft.
Collins sells avionics, nacelles, and interiors that are specified on aircraft programs and then supported for decades. Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and Boeing are the primes RTX both supplies and, on some missile and sensor competitions, faces.
Competition footprint
Missile and radar awards are program-specific and often have a single winner for a generation.
Geared-turbofan shop capacity determines whether airlines can keep A320neo-family jets flying.
Collins components specified on a jet stay with that airframe for its service life.
Consumer & business angle
An airline with geared-turbofan aircraft waits on Pratt's maintenance slots and parts.
Defense ministries buying Patriot or AMRAAM are buying a system with a single primary production line.
What to watch
- Pentagon and allied awards for missiles and sensors against Lockheed and Northrop.
- Geared-turbofan shop-visit capacity and spare-engine availability.
