RTX in Poland

Collins Aerospace in Tajęcina and Krosno manufacture and develop high-performance landing gear systems for commercial and military aircraft. Collins’ landing gear systems, which include the main, nose and wing landing gear assemblies, are made of high strength metals to withstand harsh environmental conditions. They are integrated with steering, braking and control systems, and are designed to improve performance and reduce maintenance requirements.

Raytheon has supplied the Polish Air Force with various types of missiles for fourth- and fifth-generation platforms, including AMRAAM® and AIM -9X®. Poland is also one of the end-users for Raytheon’s PhantomStrike® radar systems. With the multi-purpose Stinger®, Poland will add the performance and capabilities of a combat-proven missile to their Apache helicopter missions.

Pratt & Whitney in Poland supports the country’s aviation growth and contributes to the production and maintenance of engines for military, commercial and general aviation, regional turboprops, helicopters and business aviation. Pratt & Whitney’s sites in Rzeszów, Kalisz, and Niepołomice produce and maintain engine components for both commercial and military applications, including those for the PT6, PW100, F100, F135, and the GTF engine’s fan drive gear system, which is manufactured, assembled, and maintained in Poland. These locations also support research and development activities and provide MRO services for APUs.

Raytheon is collaborating with 10 Polish companies as part of the Wisła program, which established the Patriot® defense system as the backbone of the country’s integrated air and missile defense architecture. The partnership produced and delivered key elements through the local supply chain in the Wisła program’s first phase. The second phase of Wisła extends these partnerships with Polish industry to include work on the Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor, or LTAMDS, which provides 360-degree coverage and advanced threat detection. Poland is the first international customer for LTAMDS, and Polish industry are the first international partners providing components of LTAMDS.

Collins Aerospace’s maintenance, repair, and overhaul facility in Wrocław is expanding its portfolio of customers in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, while increasing the scope of aircraft components it supports. By providing world-class service for flight control elements like hydraulic actuators; safety equipment such as evacuation slides and oxygen crew masks; passenger experience systems like galley inserts and business-class seat components; cargo bay equipment such as power drive units, freighter common turntables, guides, and locks; and power supply systems such as integrated drive generators and variable frequency starter generators.

RTX in Poland has led the development of manufacturing technologies with strengths in automation and robotization, leveraging partnerships with universities and research institutes globally. Pratt & Whitney Rzeszów has developed the capability and infrastructure to design, validate and certify aviation engines and APU’s, with more than 30 engineering disciplines specializing in transmission, bearing compartments, seals and engine‑system technologies. Recently, Pratt & Whitney Poland is further advancing European aerospace through engineering engagement to the EU’s Clean Aviation SWITCH and PHARES projects, focused on improving aircraft performance and efficiency. Additionally the Collins Global Engineering & Technology Center in Wrocław supports RTX’s civil and military aviation programs with end‑to‑end engineering solutions.
