RTX's Collins Aerospace Unveils New Engineering Development and Test Center in Bengaluru
March 10, 2025 | RTXEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Collins Aerospace, an RTX business, opened its new Engineering Development and Test Center (EDTC) at the company’s North Gate campus in Bengaluru, India. The new facility streamlines product development, testing, and certification of components locally, bringing aerospace technologies to market faster.
The state-of-the-art facility includes comprehensive testing equipment to ensure the aerospace systems meet the highest global safety and performance standards. These tests simulate harsh aircraft operating conditions and address potential issues including extreme temperatures, high altitudes, vibration, and electromagnetic interference. By conducting these tests locally, Collins can more quickly identify adjustments earlier in the development process, improving product design while reducing both time and cost.
“The aerospace industry is evolving at an incredible pace, and this new center gives us the capability to support that evolution by making the testing and certification process faster and more efficient,” said Clay Lindwall, senior vice president of Engineering & Technology at Collins Aerospace. “The EDTC strengthens our ability to deliver high-quality, mission-critical systems that meet the needs of customers in India and around the world.”
"This EDTC is a major milestone – not just for Collins Aerospace but for India's aerospace industry, creating highly-skilled jobs and supporting the ‘Make in India’ initiative," said Savyasachi Srinivas, vice president of global engineering & technology centers. "This investment brings advanced testing capabilities closer to where engineering and manufacturing happen and recognizes the country's strategic importance in the global supply chain."
Initially, the EDTC will support Collins Aerospace, including its avionics, advanced structures, interiors, and power & controls businesses. However, in the future, the facility will expand to serve all RTX businesses, supporting a broader range of aerospace and defense applications and allowing for shared innovation across the company's diverse product portfolio.
Collins Aerospace has been investing in India for over two decades, with a growing footprint that now includes more than 6,000 employees in engineering, digital, manufacturing, operations, and supply chain functions. The EDTC further strengthens India’s role as a global hub for aerospace innovation, reinforcing Collins Aerospace’s long-term commitment to the country.
