Government Contract Dependency: A substantial portion of RTX's revenue is derived from government contracts, making the company vulnerable to shifts in government spending priorities, budget cuts, contract cancellations, and political instability that could impact defense budgets.

Regulatory Compliance and Export Controls: Operating in a highly regulated global industry, RTX faces significant risks associated with compliance with complex laws, regulations, and international trade controls, including export restrictions, which could lead to penalties, fines, and reputational damage for non-compliance.

Supply Chain Disruptions: RTX relies on a global network of suppliers for critical components and materials. Disruptions due to geopolitical events, natural disasters, economic downturns, material shortages, or supplier financial instability could cause production delays, increased costs, and inability to meet customer commitments.
