Time on Wing (RTX) Transistor (https://transistor.fm) https://feeds.transistor.fm/time-on-wing-rtx Time on wing is the hours an engine runs between removals; it is the number RTX’s whole repair is built to lift, and the one its airline customers are measured against. Time on Wing reads the company the same way: what management declared, what the record shows, and the tests written down before each print so they can be scored after it. Three segments in three phases, the geared-turbofan fleet and the money owed on it, a defense backlog booked under ceilings, the one critical audit matter that carries it, and the policy clocks running through all of them. One company, one quarter at a time, from the public record only.

Twenty-five cents of the beat is a tariff refund the market appears to have priced out before lunch. And for the first time in a year, management’s word for the grounded geared-turbofan fleet was “relatively stable.” The four tests written seven days before the print, scored; the unnamed $363M bankruptcy; seventy billion dollars of framework awards under one critical audit matter before their terms exist; the industry globally; and six new tests for the January print.

Companion to the October 22, 2026 RTX director briefing (audit-committee edition). Built entirely from the public record: RTX’s October 20 release, deck, call record and 10-Q, the 2025 10-K and proxy, the award releases, the peers’ same-week filings, IATA, CSIS and NATO. Fifty-two sources in the written edition’s evidence register; every derived figure labeled. Both voices are synthetic. Nothing here is investment advice.
