Textron Aviation kicked off 2026 with a 22% revenue gain over first-quarter 2025—and growth in both jet and commercial turboprop deliveries—as parent Textron Inc. announced its intent to separate its Industrial segment to refocus the company as a pure-play aerospace and defense business.

The Wichita-based aircraft manufacturer delivered 37 Cessna Citations in the quarter, up from 31 in the same period last year, and handed over 35 turboprops, five more than in the same period a year ago. Quarterly revenues climbed to $1.5 billion, up $269 million year over year, driven by higher aircraft volume and mix and a 10% jump in aftermarket parts and services revenues.
