RTX’s Pratt & Whitney announced that it intends to establish a European Technology and Innovation Center (ETIC) dedicated to advancing technologies for enabling more energy efficient and sustainable aviation.

The center will be located at RTX’s Collins Aerospace’s existing European Innovation Hub in Houten, in the Netherlands. Pratt & Whitney said this will further enhance RTX’s ability to engage in collaborative initiatives with both the Dutch and wider European aerospace technology ecosystem.

In December 2024, RTX signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Netherlands Aerospace Group (NAG) to provide a strategic framework for collaboration on technology research and development. Under the MOU, Pratt & Whitney will collaborate with Dutch aerospace companies and research institutions across the Netherlands to develop advanced technologies for sustainable aviation.
