RTX, a global aerospace and defense company, has entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Netherlands Aerospace Group (NAG) to advance research collaboration for sustainable aviation in the Netherlands. Under the MOU, RTX's businesses, Collins Aerospace and Pratt & Whitney, will work with Dutch aerospace companies and research institutions to develop advanced technologies. The focus areas include advanced manufacturing processes, materials like thermoplastic composite structures, innovative propulsion technologies like hydrogen and hybrid-electric systems, aircraft electrification, and energy management. The collaboration also encompasses environmental studies to assess the impact of sustainable solutions. The MOU aims to address the challenge of reducing the aviation industry's carbon footprint by fostering innovation and collaboration. Both RTX and NAG see this partnership as an opportunity to align technology roadmaps and benefit from initiatives like Luchtvaart in Transitie. With RTX's presence in the Netherlands for over a century and its contribution to technological advancements, the collaboration is expected to drive significant progress in sustainable aviation in Europe.
