RTX (RTX) appointed Jill Albertelli as president of Pratt & Whitney, effective Jan. 1, 2027, succeeding Shane Eddy, who plans to retire. She will report to RTX Chairman and CEO Chris Calio. Albertelli brings more than three decades of experience at Pratt & Whitney, including leadership of its Military Engines business, where she worked on F-35 propulsion and F135 engine delivery and sustainment. Eddy will remain as a special advisor through March 2027 to support the leadership transition.
RTX (RTX), through its Pratt & Whitney business, has signed a Production License Agreement authorizing defense aviation company Hermeus to manufacture the F100‑PW‑229 fighter engine, one of the U.S. military's most widely fielded propulsion systems.
The deal creates a new qualified production source for the F100 engine and is intended to expand U.S. production capacity to meet growing demand. Hermeus will build the engines using its rapid-build production model while meeting Pratt & Whitney standards for quality, safety and site activation. The F100 also powers Hermeus' Quarterhorse aircraft, which achieved supersonic flight earlier this year as a privately developed unmanned jet.
RTX (RTX) announced that its Pratt & Whitney business has completed the F135 Engine Core Upgrade (ECU) Risk Reduction Design Review, a major milestone validating ECU design maturity and moving the F-35 propulsion modernization program closer to production.
The review assessed detailed design, propulsion technologies, integration and risk‑reduction work needed to deliver full engine life and added power and thermal management for F-35 Block 4 and beyond across all three variants. It also evaluated supply-base readiness for future production and retrofit. The ECU is described as the selected propulsion modernization solution and is designed as a high-commonality, drop-in upgrade for both new and fielded aircraft, to be incorporated at production or retrofitted at F135 depots. RTX reports 2025 sales of more than $88 billion.
RTX (RTX) unit Pratt & Whitney will invest $25 million to expand its Niepołomice, Poland engine parts plant.
The project, equivalent to about PLN 95 million, will enlarge a facility producing complex tubular assemblies for commercial and military engines, including GTF, PW800 and F135 programs. The expanded site is expected to be operational in 2028 and to create more than 120 new jobs, increasing production capacity to meet growing global engine demand.
The investment is supported by the Polish Investment Zone Programme and complements a recently announced $100 million expansion in Rzeszow, reinforcing Poland as RTX’s largest investment and employment base outside the United States, with over 9,500 employees.

RTX (NYSE: RTX) announced that its Raytheon business has completed a $50 million, 17,000 square‑foot expansion of its manufacturing facility in Forest, Mississippi. The project is expected to boost production capacity for critical electronic warfare and radar systems and create 100 high-skill jobs by 2028.
The Forest site now totals 445,000 square feet, following three expansions over the past decade that together represent $280 million in capital investment. The latest addition will serve as a hub for production, test and integration of Next Generation Jammer Mid‑Band pods for the U.S. Navy and Australian government, as well as other airborne radar programs.
Karman Space & Defense (NYSE: KRMN) announced a planned CFO transition, appointing Chris Boynton as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer effective September 14. Current CFO Mike Willis will depart by year-end following a phased transition after leading the finance organization through Karman’s February 2025 IPO.

RTX (NYSE: RTX) announced that its Collins Aerospace business has successfully completed altitude testing of the Enhanced Power and Cooling System (EPACS), a next-generation Power and Thermal Management System for the F-35.
EPACS is designed to deliver significantly increased cooling capacity and critical thermal margin to support current and planned advanced mission systems on the F-35 and future defense and commercial aircraft. The system was operated for several days at power levels replicating mission requirements and pushed to operational limits across various altitudes to validate performance models and demonstrate emergency power delivery. This milestone follows Collins’ 2025 announcement that EPACS met requirements for aircraft integration. RTX reported more than $88 billion in 2025 sales and is headquartered in Arlington, Virginia.
RTX (NYSE: RTX) announced that its Raytheon business has received an unprecedented $22.9 billion, seven-year contract from the U.S. Department of War under the Arsenal of Freedom to accelerate production of Tomahawk cruise missiles for the U.S. Navy.
