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.
RTX (NYSE: RTX), through Raytheon UK-led consortium Omnia Training, has been awarded a £2bn, 15-year contract by the UK Ministry of Defence to act as the British Army's Strategic Training Partner and deliver the Army's Collective Training Service using integrated, digitally enabled, synthetic and data-driven environments, creating 270 new jobs and sustaining 150 roles.
RTX (NYSE: RTX) announced its Collins Aerospace Engineering Center of Excellence in Wolverhampton, U.K. is fully operational, focused on next-generation elecTRAS electric thrust reverser actuation systems. The modular, scalable test facility enables advanced design, testing and certification for aircraft actuation systems.
ElecTRAS is described as eliminating hydraulic interfaces and fluids and supporting a 15–20% nacelle actuation weight reduction at the integrated aircraft system level. The center’s capabilities span modules to full systems, aiming to cut development time and cost while supporting multiple programs and system variants.
Co-located elecTRAS and nacelle actuation expertise is intended to streamline development and collaboration. Engineers at Wolverhampton focus on electric systems, smart algorithms and motor control architecture while supporting in-service fleets. According to RTX, elecTRAS is already used on the Airbus A350 family, with more than 15 million flight hours, 2.2 million flight cycles and deployment on over 700 aircraft as of 2025.
