An aerospace and defense giant that employs thousands in Connecticut and has century-old roots in the state is getting a new name.
Raytheon Technologies Corp., which merged United Technologies Corp. and its iconic Pratt & Whitney jet engine brand in 2020, will now be known as RTX Corp. The RTX name, which took affect this week and is Raytheon’s stock trading symbol, will be co-branded with subsidiaries such as Pratt and Collins Aerospace, which have a major presence in Connecticut.
RTX employs about 17,000 in Connecticut, according to the company.
