The engine sales increase comes as Boeing and Airbus are trying to increase aircraft production.
Raytheon's Pratt and Whitney engine unit sales were up 15% from a year ago to $5.23 billion. Its Collins Aerospace unit, which makes everything from avionics to aircraft interiors, rose 15% from last year to $5.58 billion.

A surge in travel demand has also increased demand for new jets and maintenance on older jets. Boeing will likely detail its plans for aircraft output and deliveries to airlines for the year when it reports quarterly results before the market opens on Wednesday.
