The company's platform portfolio includes aircraft engines from Pratt &amp; Whitney, avionics and systems from Collins Aerospace, and defense platforms under the Raytheon brand.In 2025, RTX highlighted its diversified aerospace-and-defense product line serving both government and commercial customers. The company won a $1.6 billion sustainment contract for the F135 engines that power Lockheed Martin's F-35 fighter jets.

The company remained under regulatory scrutiny over safety and quality concerns stemming from its earlier mishaps.Lockheed MartinMarket Cap: $110.69 BillionYTD: - 2.4%Lockheed Martin came into being in 1995, although its corporate roots date back to the early 20th century.

The company also opened a new hypersonic weapons facility, underscoring its investment in next-generation defense technologies.This was in addition to a multi-billion-dollar satellite contract the company had with the U.S. Space Development Agency, further sealing its lead in military space infrastructure. Yet, large-scale programs, such as delays in F-35 jet deliveries, continued to affect cash flow.General DynamicsMarket Cap: $91.67 BillionYTD: 28.8%General Dynamics is engaged in business aviation, combat vehicles, shipbuilding, and communications systems. Founded in 1952, its Gulfstream division competes globally in the business jet market.In 2025, the company reported segment revenue and earnings growth supported by strong demand in aerospace and defense. Gulfstream received FAA and EASA certifications for the G800 business jet, giving a green light for customer deliveries after repeated delays.The company also won international defense contracts, including vehicle programs in Europe.
