Pratt & Whitney, a subsidiary of RTX, has announced its plans to establish a European Technology and Innovation Center (ETIC) in the Netherlands with the aim of advancing technologies for energy-efficient and sustainable aviation. The center will be situated at RTX's Collins Aerospace's existing European Innovation Hub in Houten. In collaboration with the Netherlands Aerospace Group (NAG) and Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), Pratt & Whitney will engage with Dutch aerospace companies and research institutions to drive the development of cutting-edge technologies for sustainable aviation. The ETIC is set to open in mid-2025, housing a core team of engineers and scientists focused on propulsion efficiency and emissions reduction technologies for future aircraft, including those utilizing hydrogen as an alternative aviation fuel. This initiative marks a strategic move by RTX to access engineering talent in the Netherlands and Europe, fostering innovation and collaboration in the aerospace industry.
