Raytheon Technologies Corp. is a Aerospace & Defense company with $79.2B in 2024 revenue and 185K employees worldwide. RTX Corporation stands at the intersection of two of the most strategically consequential industries in the global economy: defense and commercial aviation. The company's formation in 2020, through the combination of United Technologies and Raytheon Company, united complementary capabilities in a way that created a business with few true peers in terms of technology breadth, customer relationships, and contract backlog depth. The company's operational scale is genuinely staggering. In any given year, Pratt & Whitney engines are powering millions of passenger flights globally. Collins Aerospace systems are guiding aircraft, managing cabin environments, and ensuring connectivity for millions of travelers. Raytheon missile systems are deployed by the armed forces of more than 40 nations. Raytheon radar and intelligence systems are processing signals intelligence for the most sensitive U.S. Government programs. The RTX story is one of industrial consolidation, technological evolution, and the enduring strategic importance of aerospace and defense capability at a moment when global security architectures are being tested. The company's ability to serve both commercial aviation — a fundamentally optimistic, growth-oriented industry — and national defense — an industry shaped by threat assessment and geopolitical realism — gives it a distinctive resilience that pure-play defense or pure-play aerospace companies cannot match. For American audiences, RTX is also a story of industrial employment at scale: 185,000 jobs in engineering, manufacturing, software development, and program management, spread across facilities in Connecticut, Texas, Florida, Indiana, Arizona, and dozens of other states. It is, in the most literal sense, one of the institutional pillars of the American defense-industrial base.
