United received an Airbus A321XLR equipped with GTF Advantage engines, which Pratt & Whitney said offer up to twice the time on wing and 4% to 8% more takeoff thrust than the current GTF. Pratt & Whitney plans to transition its entire PW1100G-JM production line to the Advantage specification by 2028. “The first delivery of a GTF Advantage-powered aircraft to United Airlines signifies a new chapter in our relationship that spans nearly a century,” said **Rick Deurloo**, president of Commercial Engines at Pratt & Whitney. ## RTX Expands Aerospace Partnerships Pratt & Whitney Canada separately signed a four-year maintenance agreement with **AirBorneo Airways** covering PW127M engines powering its ATR 72-500 fleet through 2030. Pratt & Whitney Canada’s expanded Singapore facility will handle most maintenance, repair, and overhaul work. RTX’s **Collins Aerospace** also signed three multi-year agreements with **ST Engineering** on Sept. 23, expanding Boeing 787 component repairs, Collins spare-parts support, and lifecycle repairs for Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 components. **See More: Top Value Stocks** ## Bernstein Cuts Price Target On Sept. 23, **Bernstein** maintained a Market Perform rating on RTX while cutting its price target to $223 from $232.

MACD remains below its signal line with a negative histogram. Resistance sits near $226.50, close to the 52-week high of $226.88, while support stands near $172.
