Seeing the biggest picture in the smallest detail 

Across aerospace and defense, demand for new capabilities is growing faster than ever. RTX is meeting that demand by using its scale – 60,000 engineers, 250 factories, decades’ worth of our own data – to design, manufacture and deliver with speed, safety and quality.

We move faster by working smarter

Using AI to help the human eye

Printed circuit boards are incredibly complex. They’re also essential in aviation. See how this factory uses AI to inspect them – a capability RTX will roll out at facilities worldwide.
