Currently, the seats are in development with deliveries scheduled to begin near the end of 2027, and the product is on display at the Aircraft Interiors Expo this week.
RTX, which employs over 180,000 people worldwide, is committed to delivering innovative solutions that drive sustainable and interconnected aviation operations. The company’s focus includes passenger safety and comfort, space exploration, and defense systems.
These developments underscore RTX's strategic investment in next-generation aircraft seating technology, aiming to meet airline demands for durability, efficiency, and passenger experience enhancements.
