RTX Corporation RTX

Company Overview

RTX Corporation is a global aerospace and defense company that provides advanced systems, products, and services for commercial aviation, military defense, and government customers. The company operates across the aerospace, defense, and intelligence industries, generating revenue primarily through aircraft engines, aerospace systems, missile defense, radar, space technologies, and related aftermarket services. RTX serves a diversified customer base that includes commercial airlines, aircraft manufacturers, the U.S. Department of Defense, allied governments, and space agencies.

The company’s primary business lines are organized around three major segments: Collins Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney, and Raytheon. RTX’s strategic positioning is based on long-term government contracts, high barriers to entry driven by technological complexity and regulatory requirements, and recurring aftermarket revenue tied to long-life aerospace platforms. RTX traces its origins to the 2020 merger of Raytheon Company and United Technologies Corporation, rebranding as RTX Corporation in 2023 to reflect its integrated aerospace and defense identity.
