What it does

A very large aerospace and defense company made up of three businesses: Collins Aerospace (aircraft systems), Pratt & Whitney (jet engines) and Raytheon (missiles, sensors and defense systems).

Why it matters

AI is not a primary economic driver for RTX; it is on the map as a defense prime held by the QTUM ETF, with links to Lockheed Martin through the Javelin joint venture and to Anduril on rocket-motor work.

How it makes money

Sells and services aircraft engines and avionics to airlines and aircraft makers, and missiles, radars and defense systems to the US and allied governments.

Geography

United States (Arlington, Virginia)

AI stack position

Space and next-generation infrastructure. Launch providers, satellite builders and operators, ground networks and the first attempts at running computing in orbit. Most of these companies have no AI business today; they are on this map because of what they carry, connect or build for the companies that do. Open the space lens.
