Raytheon’s Exchange Takes Wing
Continuing its electronic-business roll, Raytheon this week will launch EverythingAircraft.com, an Internet trading exchange for the $5 billion leisure aircraft market.
Raytheon, a $20 billion aerospace and defense giant best known as a maker of cruise missiles and fighter-jet radar devices, also owns Raytheon Aircraft Co., a $2.5 billion Wichita, Kan.-based maker of airplanes, including the Beech, Hawker and Bonanza lines.
The site targets business users by aggregating data and brokering deals among parts suppliers and service providers. Three months from now, the plan is to extend the site’s appeal to a wide audience of consumers, ranging from model airplane hobbyists to aircraft owners
