RTX's Pratt & Whitney segment has seen robust Q2 2026 sales of $8.9 billion, up 16% year over year, fueled by 25% growth in commercial aftermarket volumes from increased geared turbofan maintenance and strong military engine demand tied to F-35 F135 production. Commercial original equipment sales faced headwinds from mix shifts, while broader RTX results reflected 14% total revenue growth amid a $289 billion backlog split between commercial and defense orders. Tariff costs and powder-metal engine remediation continue to pressure margins, but analyst consensus points to sustained double-digit segment expansion in Q3 amid rising airline utilization and defense contract momentum ahead of the imminent earnings release.
