Investors were buoyed by promising news from one of RTX’s three core business divisions.<\/p>\n This division is none other than aircraft engine specialist Pratt & Whitney, which announced this morning that it had secured a significant certification abroad.<\/p>\n Image source: Getty Images.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Specifically, Pratt & Whitney’s GTF Advantage engine received certification from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). This follows a similar nod from its American counterpart, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
