TXTMEDIUM SIGNALOPERATIONAL10-K

Textron eliminated its eAviation segment as a standalone reporting unit, realigning those operations within existing segments effective January 2026.

This restructuring suggests Textron is streamlining its electric aviation initiatives rather than maintaining them as a separate growth focus, potentially indicating a more measured approach to the eAviation market. The segment elimination could reflect either operational efficiency gains or reduced strategic emphasis on standalone electric aviation development.
