Collins Aerospace - Goodrich Hoist & Winch business

What Collins Aerospace - Goodrich Hoist & Winch business does

The Goodrich Hoist & Winch business is a legacy product line within Collins Aerospace, the aerospace segment of RTX (Raytheon Technologies Corporation). It designs and supplies aircraft hoist and winch systems used for cargo loading, personnel lifting, and general aircraft utility operations across commercial and military aviation platforms. The unit serves airlines, aircraft operators, and defense customers, with products typically designed into OEM airframe programs (notably rotorcraft and military transports) and supported through aftermarket spares and MRO. The Goodrich brand heritage originates with the former Goodrich Corporation, which was absorbed into UTC Aerospace Systems and subsequently retained as a sub-brand through the 2018 formation of Collins Aerospace and the 2020 merger of United Technologies with Raytheon to form RTX.

Distribution flows through Collins Aerospace's direct sales organization and global service network, with regional service entities operating in Singapore (Goodrich Aerostructures Service Center, Goodrich Aerospace Pte Ltd, Hamilton Sundstrand Pacific Aerospace), India, Australia, the Philippines, and across Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas. Collins Aerospace overall is reported within RTX's consolidated financials; individual product line revenue for the hoist and winch business is not publicly disclosed, and specific product specifications, pricing, certifications, or AI/ML capabilities for this business unit are not detailed in the available sources.

Direct peers

• Curtiss-Wright Corporation: Aerospace and defense components and systems manufacturer serving commercial aviation, military, and industrial markets. Comparable through its portfolio of mechanical and electromechanical subsystems used across aircraft platforms.
• Spirit AeroSystems: Major Tier-one aerostructures manufacturer heavily dependent on large commercial OEM build rates. Comparable on aerospace component manufacturing, OEM customer concentration, and aftermarket exposure, though focused on larger structural assemblies.
• Senior plc: Aerospace and defense fluid conveyance and structural components specialist. Comparable as a smaller-scale aerospace component supplier serving major OEMs with a mix of proprietary engineered parts and aftermarket services.
• GKN Aerospace: Tier-one aerospace structures and systems supplier to major OEMs with global manufacturing and MRO presence. Comparable to Collins Aerospace's Goodrich line on aerospace component manufacturing scale, OEM/aftermarket mix, and global service network.
• Triumph Group: Aerospace structures, mechanical systems, and aftermarket services supplier to commercial and military OEMs. Comparable on product mix of mechanical utility systems, customer base, and dependence on OEM build rates.
• TransDigm Group: Acquisitive aerospace component specialist that owns multiple proprietary, sole-source aerospace utility and mechanical products. Comparable to Goodrich Hoist & Winch as a niche, high-margin aerospace component business with aftermarket exposure, though broader in scope.
• Moog Inc. Specialty aerospace and defense motion-control supplier with a substantial aircraft hoist and winch portfolio, including helicopter rescue hoists. Closely comparable to Goodrich Hoist & Winch on product category, customer base (OEMs and defense), and aftermarket business model.

Broad incumbents

• Safran: Global aerospace and defense group with broad propulsion, equipment, and defense portfolios. Comparable as a large incumbent supplying mechanical and utility systems to commercial and military OEMs worldwide, though much larger and more diversified.
• Honeywell Aerospace: Large diversified aerospace systems supplier across avionics, propulsion, and mechanical systems. Comparable as a broad incumbent serving the same commercial and military aviation customers, though hoist and winch is only one small corner of its portfolio.

Emerging players

• HEICO Corporation: Aerospace parts and MRO specialist growing through niche product and PMA acquisitions. Comparable as an aerospace parts supplier with strong aftermarket tilt, though its portfolio approach is broader and its scale smaller than Collins Aerospace's hoist and winch line.
