Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Financial Information Segment Financial Information
For the periods presented, we operate in, and report financial information for, the following six operating segments: Textron Aviation, Bell, Textron Systems, Industrial, Textron eAviation and Finance. The accounting policies of these segments are the same as those described in Note 1. Effective January 4, 2026, the beginning of our 2026 fiscal year, the business activities of the Textron eAviation segment were realigned within Textron's other operating segments resulting in the elimination of the Textron eAviation segment as a separate reporting segment. Additional information regarding this segment change is provided below.
Textron Aviation products and services include Cessna Citation jets, Beechcraft and Cessna turboprop aircraft, military trainer and defense aircraft, piston engine aircraft, advanced flight training devices, aftermarket parts and maintenance, inspection and repair services. Textron Aviation has a diverse customer base including fractional aircraft businesses, charter and fleet operators, corporate aviation, individual buyers, training schools, airlines, and special mission, military and government operators.
Bell products and services include development of the MV-75 tiltrotor aircraft, the V-22 tiltrotor aircraft, advanced military helicopters, and aftermarket parts and support services to the U.S. and non-U.S. governments. Bell also supplies commercial helicopters and aftermarket parts and services to corporate, private, law enforcement, utility, public safety and emergency medical helicopter operators, and U.S. and foreign governments.
Textron Systems products and services include electronic systems and solutions, advanced marine craft, piston aircraft engines, live military air-to-air and air-to-ship training, weapons and related components, unmanned aircraft systems, and both manned and unmanned armored and specialty vehicles for U.S. and international military, government and commercial customers.
Industrial products and markets include the following:
•Kautex products include blow-molded plastic fuel systems, including conventional plastic fuel tanks and pressurized fuel tanks for hybrid vehicle applications, clear-vision systems, plastic tanks for selective catalytic reduction systems and battery systems for use in electric vehicles, from hybrid to full battery-powered, that are sold to automobile OEMs; and
•Textron Specialized Vehicles products include golf cars, utility vehicles, light transportation vehicles, aviation ground support equipment, professional turf-maintenance equipment and specialized turf-care vehicles that are marketed primarily to golf courses and resorts, government agencies and municipalities, consumers, outdoor enthusiasts, and commercial and industrial users.
The Textron eAviation segment has been focused on research and development initiatives related to sustainable aviation solutions and also manufactures a family of light aircraft and gliders with both electric and combustion engines. Under the segment realignment mentioned above, effective at the beginning of our 2026 fiscal year, a significant part of Textron eAviation, including Pipistrel, will become part of the Textron Aviation segment to enable the business to more effectively leverage the development, manufacturing and sales expertise at Textron Aviation. In addition, Textron eAviation’s manned and unmanned products for military applications and related research and development activities will be included in the results of the Textron Systems segment, which is best suited to provide more direct access to the targeted customer base for these products. Lastly, certain Textron eAviation research and development activities encompassing digital flight control and air vehicle management systems, which we expect will benefit several of our segments, will be reported within corporate expenses.
The Finance segment provides financing primarily to purchasers of new and pre-owned Textron Aviation aircraft and Bell helicopters.
Segment profit is an important financial measure. Through 2025, Textron’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) was its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Scott Donnelly. Effective January 4, 2026, the beginning of our 2026 fiscal year, Lisa Atherton became Textron's President and Chief Executive Officer, and CODM, succeeding Mr. Donnelly. Our CODM utilizes segment profit to evaluate the performance of the segments to establish management's compensation and for decision-making purposes, including the allocation of capital resources between segments. Segment profit for the manufacturing segments excludes the non-service components of pension and postretirement income, net; LIFO inventory provision; intangible asset amortization; interest expense, net for Manufacturing group; certain corporate expenses; gains/losses on major business dispositions; special charges; and the inventory valuation charge to write down production-related powersports inventory discussed in Note 15. The measurement for the Finance segment includes interest income and expense along with intercompany interest income and expense.
