RTX enables civil aviation missions across the globe.
More than 75% of the fixed‑wing aircraft used in humanitarian missions rely on Pratt & Whitney engines such as the PT6A, PW100, PW150 and PT6T—bringing medical teams, relief workers and essential supplies to communities in need.
Civil missions in action
Search and rescue
When it comes to airborne search and rescue missions, saving time means the difference between life and death. We offer a market-leading suite of communication and navigation products for search and rescue missions.
Medevac and air ambulance
Pratt & Whitney provides engines to companies that transport roughly 130,000 patients per year. Those engines deliver the power, speed and efficiency to meet our helicopter customers’ unique needs, helping them fly in conditions that other aircraft simply cannot.
Emergency response
When disasters strike, RTX technology helps responders move faster and make better decisions. RTX BBN Technologies is developing RAPID – an autonomous AI system for triaging mass casualties in real-time, helping first responders treat the most critical cases first.
