United Technologies Research Center Company Profile

UTRC has been curious about making things better—for industries, people and the planet—since our founding in 1929. Addressing the challenges that come from increasing levels of urbanization and globalization—such as the needs for greater efficiency, integration, and performance in modern technologies—serve as the driving force behind our explorations. As such, our researchers focus on the big picture, investigating the “what ifs” of advanced propulsion and power, energy storage, building efficiency, autonomy and human-machine interaction, and revolutionary aircraft systems. Their ideas are designed for application, culminating in products, technologies and systems that impact the world.
