RTX (NYSE: RTX), through its Pratt & Whitney business, will supply up to 220 GTF engines to BOC Aviation to power up to 110 Airbus A320neo family aircraft. The order, originally signed as an undisclosed deal in June 2025, is BOC Aviation's largest with Pratt & Whitney.
According to RTX, GTF engines deliver 20% lower fuel consumption and a 75% smaller noise footprint versus prior-generation engines. More than 2,800 GTF-powered aircraft operate with over 90 customers, and the GTF engine backlog exceeds 8,000 units, highlighting continuing demand.
RTX (NYSE: RTX) announced that its Pratt & Whitney business has completed a key design milestone for the Pratt & Whitney Valox™ 1500 engine, intended for semi-autonomous collaborative platforms. A comprehensive digital assessment indicates the design is on track to balance performance, affordability and speed to market.
Pratt & Whitney used proactive digital engineering to de-risk the development timeline and is now maturing the design ahead of follow-on ground testing. In late 2025, the U.S. Air Force awarded Pratt & Whitney a contract valued at more than $10 million to advance the engine design, supporting the broader Valox engine family for modern collaborative combat systems and emerging applications. RTX reports 2025 sales of more than $88 billion and over 180,000 global employees.
Raytheon UK (part of RTX, NYSE: RTX) unveiled Red Kite, its first sovereign, digitally engineered precision weapon fully designed in the UK, at the Farnborough International Airshow on July 21, 2026. Developed over five years with a consortium of British defence partners, Red Kite is intended as an affordable, highly deployable effector to help the UK rapidly scale critical stockpiles.
Red Kite uses the existing Stormbreaker airframe and can be integrated across a wide range of air platforms, adding a cost-effective, high-volume option to enhance RAF operational flexibility. According to Raytheon UK, the program will be delivered through a nationwide UK supply chain and directly support an estimated 140 highly skilled jobs across England, Scotland and Wales, reinforcing sovereign defence and advanced manufacturing capabilities.
RTX (NYSE: RTX) announced that its business Pratt & Whitney Canada signed a nearly five-year maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) agreement with Emerald Airlines for PW127M engines powering ATR 72-600 regional turboprops, extending their collaboration through 2030.
According to RTX, engine support will be provided mainly at Pratt & Whitney Canada's Singapore MRO hub, with additional backing from Montreal. The PW100 engine family is described as cutting fuel use and CO2 emissions by 25%–40% on routes of 350 miles or less and is compatible with biofuels and up to a 50% blend of synthetic aviation fuel.
RTX (NYSE: RTX) announced that its Pratt & Whitney business successfully completed a demonstration test of an additively manufactured TJ150 expendable engine at the Farnborough International Airshow. Nearly 60% of the engine volume, including major static and rotating hardware, was produced using 3D printing.
The testing validated material behavior in operational conditions and durability for missions lasting minutes to hours. Pratt & Whitney has consolidated over 50 hot-section components into a few 3D-printed parts and successfully tested a 3D-printed rotating turbine wheel, creating the recently tested TJ150 configuration and informing other programs such as the Valox™ engine family.
RTX (NYSE: RTX) announced at the Farnborough International Airshow that Jackson Square Aviation has selected Pratt & Whitney’s GTF engine to power an undisclosed number of Airbus A320neo family aircraft. JSA already has 91 GTF-powered A320neo aircraft and 11 V2500-powered A320ceos in its portfolio.
According to RTX, GTF engines provide about 20% lower fuel consumption and a 75% smaller noise footprint versus prior-generation engines. More than 2,800 GTF-powered aircraft operate globally with over 90 customers, and RTX reports an order backlog exceeding 8,000 GTF engines, highlighting sustained demand.
RTX (NYSE: RTX) announced that its Pratt & Whitney Canada business has been awarded a nine-year, $1 billion contract from V2X to overhaul more than 750 PT6A-68 engines powering the U.S. Joint Primary Aircraft Training System (JPATS) T-6 trainer fleet.
The work will be performed at Pratt & Whitney Canada's Bridgeport, West Virginia facility, which has handled PT6A-68 maintenance, repair and overhaul for over four decades. This is the second time the site has received this U.S. government engine refurbishment contract, highlighting its established sustainment capabilities.
RTX (NYSE: RTX) announced that British Airways has selected Pratt & Whitney GTF engines to power 33 firm and 30 option Airbus A320neo aircraft, with deliveries expected to begin in 2027. Pratt & Whitney will also support the engines under a 12-year EngineWise Comprehensive maintenance agreement.
According to RTX, GTF engines provide 20% lower fuel consumption and a 75% smaller noise footprint versus prior-generation engines. More than 2,800 GTF-powered aircraft are in service with over 90 customers, and the GTF order backlog exceeds 8,000 engines, highlighting continued demand for this geared-turbofan technology.
RTX (NYSE: RTX) announced that its Raytheon business successfully completed a key system technology demonstration of the Next Generation Short Range Interceptor (NGSRI) at Dugway Proving Grounds, Utah. Multiple guided missiles were launched from a soldier-portable Command Launch Assembly, achieving direct hits and destroying Army-simulated aerial threats.
According to Raytheon, NGSRI uses precision optics and an innovative solid rocket motor from Northrop Grumman to significantly extend engagement range beyond current systems, and is intended to replace the Stinger surface-to-air missile in U.S. Army service while remaining interoperable with existing mounted platforms.
RTX (NYSE: RTX) announced that its Pratt & Whitney business is expanding engine inspection capabilities by acquiring and integrating Amsterdam-based Aiir Innovations, an AI-assisted borescope software provider. The technology supports inspections for commercial, civil and military engines, aiming to enhance consistency and efficiency in global MRO operations.
The AI software analyzes borescope video to deliver faster, more repeatable assessments, already used by commercial customers and MRO providers to cut inspection times. Pratt & Whitney has applied it to the V2500 engine, completed pilots on GTF and F135 engines, and plans broader deployment.
