          ended  January 1,  1994.    The  financial  statements  reflect   all
          adjustments (consisting only of  normal recurring adjustments)  which
          are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair  presentation
          of Textron's  consolidated financial  position  at July 2,  1994  and
          January 1, 1994, and its consolidated results of operations for  each
          of the respective three and six month periods ended July 2, 1994  and
          July 3, 1993 and consolidated  cash flows for each  of the six  month
          periods ended  July 2,  1994  and  July 3,  1993.    The  results  of
          operations for the six months ended July 2, 1994 are not  necessarily
          indicative of results for the full year.

Note 2:   Acquisitions

          Avdel plc

          In early  1989,  Textron  acquired Avdel  plc,  a  fastening  systems
          manufacturing business  based in  England, the  total cost  of  which
          approximated $254 million.  In February 1989, the U.S. Federal  Trade
          Commission (FTC) challenged the acquisition under antitrust law.   On
          May 10, 1994, the  FTC gave  final approval  to a  settlement of  the
          matter.  Textron acquired control of Avdel plc on May 17, 1994  after
          complying with  the  FTC  settlement by  licensing  Avdel's  Monobolt
          non-aerospace  blind  rivet   and  divesting  certain   manufacturing
          equipment to the licensee.  Textron has accounted for the acquisition
          of  Avdel  as  a  purchase  and,  accordingly,  Avdel's  results   of
          operations are included in  Textron's financial statements  beginning
          in the second quarter of 1994.

          Textron Acustar Plastics

          On May 3,  1993,  Textron acquired  the  plastics operations  of  the
          Acustar division of Chrysler Corporation at a cost of $139 million.

Note 3:   Dispositions

          On May 11, 1994, Textron and AlliedSignal Inc. signed a memorandum of
          understanding for AlliedSignal to purchase Textron's Lycoming Turbine
          Engine Division  for  approximately $375  million  in cash  plus  the
          assumption of certain liabilities.  Completion of the transaction  is
          subject to negotiation  of a definitive  purchase and sale  agreement
          and regulatory approvals.



          On July  21,  1994,  Textron  and Deere &  Company  entered  into  an
          agreement  under  which  Deere &  Company  will  purchase   Textron's
          Homelite Division for  approximately $120  million in  cash plus  the
          assumption of  certain  liabilities.   The  transaction,  subject  to
          regulatory approval, is expected  to be completed by  the end of  the
          third quarter of 1994.

          The proceeds  from the  sales of  these divisions  will be  used  for
          general corporate purposes  including debt  reduction, repurchase  of
          common shares and the financing of acquisitions.

          Effective at the beginning of 1994, Textron adopted the provisions of
          Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting  for
          Certain Investments in Debt  and Equity Securities"   (FAS 115).   In
          accordance with FAS 115, prior  period financial statements have  not
          been restated to reflect the change in accounting principles.

          FAS 115 established  new, more  restrictive criteria  to be  used  in
          determining which debt securities shall  be carried in the  financial
          statements at amortized cost.  Beginning in 1994, securities  carried
          at amortized  cost  and  classified in  Textron's  held  to  maturity
          category are  those as  to which  Textron has  both the  ability  and
          positive intent to hold  to maturity.   Securities classified in  the
          available for sale category are carried at fair value and consist  of
          those securities  which Textron  intends to  hold for  an  indefinite
          period of time but not necessarily to maturity.  Unrealized gains and
          losses related to  securities available  for sale are  reported as  a
          separate component of shareholders' equity.  To comply with  FAS 115,
          Textron transferred certain debt securities from the held to maturity
          category to  the  available  for  sale  category  of  its  investment
          portfolio.    The  net  unrealized  gains  of  $94  million,  net  of
          applicable income taxes, relating  to the debt securities  classified
          in the available for sale category of its investment portfolio at the
          date of  adoption,  were recorded  as  an increase  to  shareholders'
          equity.  The net unrealized losses related to the available for  sale
          category were $13 million, net  of applicable income tax benefit,  at
          July 2, 1994.  The adoption of FAS 115 had no effect on Textron's net
          income.



          During the six months ended July 2,  1994, an investment in the  held
          to maturity category, with an amortized cost of $10 million, was sold
          due to a significant deterioration in the issuer's creditworthiness.
          Proceeds from the sale were $10 million.

Note 8:   Contingencies

          There are pending or threatened against Textron and its  subsidiaries
          lawsuits and other  proceedings, some of  which allege violations  of
          federal government  procurement  regulations,  involve  environmental
          matters, or are or  purport to be class  actions.  Among these  suits
          and proceedings are some which seek compensatory, treble or  punitive
          damages in substantial amounts; fines, penalties or restitution;  the
          cleanup of allegedly hazardous  wastes; or, under federal  government
          procurement regulations, could result  in suspension or debarment  of
          Textron or its  subsidiaries from U.S.  Government contracting for  a
          period of time.   These suits and proceedings  are being defended  or
          contested on behalf of Textron and its subsidiaries.  On the basis of
          information presently  available,  Textron  believes  that  any  such
          liability or the  impact of  the application  of relevant  government
          regulations would not have a material effect on Textron's net  income
          or financial condition.

          See Part II, Item 1., LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

Note 9:   Financial information by borrowing group

          Textron consists of two borrowing groups - the Textron Parent Company
          Borrowing Group and the finance and insurance subsidiaries.

          The Textron  Parent  Company  Borrowing Group  is  comprised  of  all
          entities  of   Textron  other   than   its  finance   and   insurance
          subsidiaries.  The financial  statements of this  group as set  forth
          below reflect  Textron's investments  in  its finance  and  insurance
          subsidiaries on the equity basis.   Its sources of cash flow  include
          dividends paid by the finance and insurance subsidiaries, as well  as
          cash generated by other operating units.

          The finance  and  insurance  subsidiaries  finance  their  respective
          operations by borrowing from their own group of external creditors.

          Textron, which  had been  the  sole shareholder  of The  Paul  Revere
          Corporation (PRC), sold 7.5 million shares of PRC, representing 16.7%
          of  the  outstanding  shares  of  PRC,  on  October 26,  1993  in  an
          underwritten public offering registered  under the Securities Act  of
          1933.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS  OF  FINANCIAL  CONDITION  AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Financial Condition

Textron Parent Company Borrowing  Group:  During the  six months ended  July 2,
1994,  the  Textron  Parent  Company  Borrowing  Group's  operating  activities
provided cash  of $200  million versus  $164 million  during the  corresponding
period of  1993.   The improvement  in 1994  was due  to increased  income  and
customer deposits in 1994, partially offset by higher receivables in 1994,  due
primarily to changed payment  terms with certain customers.   The Group's  debt
decreased by $12 million principally as a result of cash provided by operations
in excess of capital expenditures and payments of dividends.

During the  six months  ended July 3,  1993, the  Group's operating  activities
provided cash  of $164  million versus  cash  used of  $13 million  during  the
corresponding period of 1992, with the improvement in 1993 due primarily to (a)
higher trade payables  and other  liabilities due  primarily to  the timing  of
certain payments in  1993 and (b)  significant payments on  trade payables  and
other liabilities  in  1992.    The  Group's  debt  increased  by  $75  million
principally as a result  of financing the $139  million acquisition of  Textron
Acustar Plastics.

The Textron  Parent Company  Borrowing Group's  credit facilities  not used  or
reserved as  support for  outstanding commercial  paper or  bank borrowings  at
July 2, 1994 were $872 million.  Textron had $236 million available at  July 2,
1994 for unsecured debt securities under its shelf registration statement filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In 1990, PRC  purchased in  the open market  (on behalf  of Textron)  1,696,500
shares of Textron common stock at  a total cost of approximately $40  million.
Such purchase was accounted for in the Textron Parent Company Borrowing Group's
balance sheet as a purchase of  stock for the Textron Parent Company  Borrowing
Group's treasury and as  a dividend (special distribution)  from PRC.  In  July
1993, Textron's Board of  Directors approved Textron's purchase  of all of  the
shares of Textron  common stock  owned by PRC  in four  annual installments  of
424,125 shares each, beginning on April 10, 1994, at a share price to be  equal
to the  average  closing price  of  Textron's  stock over  the  fiscal  quarter
preceding each  such  purchase.   The  first of  the  four purchases  (for  $25
million) was made in April 1994.

On May 12, 1994, Textron reactivated  its share repurchase program to  purchase
up to five million  shares of its common  stock from time to  time in the  open
market as conditions warrant.

In the second  quarter of  1994, Textron announced  its agreement  to sell  its
Lycoming Turbine Engine  Division to AlliedSignal  Inc. for approximately  $375
million, and on  July 21,  1994, Textron announced  its agreement  to sell  its
Homelite Division  to Deere  & Company  for approximately  $120 million.    See
Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Management believes  that Textron  will  continue to  have adequate  access  to
credit markets and  that its credit  facilities and cash  flow from  operations
- --including  dividends   received   from  Textron's   finance   and   insurance
operations-- will continue  to be more  than sufficient to  meet its  operating
needs and to finance growth.

Finance and insurance  subsidiaries:   The finance  and insurance  subsidiaries
paid dividends of  $55 million and  $46 million to  the Textron Parent  Company
Borrowing Group during  the six month  periods ended July 2,  1994 and  July 3,
1993, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 1994, Avco Financial Services (AFS) issued
$365 million of  unsecured debt  securities, including $300  million under  its
shelf registration statements.  AFS had $1.3 billion and $154 million available
at June 30, 1994  for unsecured  debt securities under  its shelf  registration
statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission and Canadian  provincial
security exchanges, respectively.

On July 27, 1994, AFS  issued $200 million of  unsecured debt securities  under
its shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In June 1994,  TFC established  a medium-term  note facility  for $500  million
under Rule 144A  of the Securities  Act of  1933, as amended,  which was  fully
available at June 30, 1994.

During the first  half of 1994,  the finance subsidiaries  had $295 million  of
interest rate  exchange agreements  go into  effect.   Of these,  $100  million
expire in 1995 and had the effect  of exchanging the indices used to  determine
interest expense under certain  variable rate borrowings  at June 30, 1994  for
the purpose of  better matching the  rate of interest  incurred on the  finance
subsidiaries' financing with  the rate  of interest  earned on  certain of  the
finance subsidiaries' variable rate finance receivables.  The remainder of  the
agreements, which have a weighted average original term of 4.2 years and expire
through 1999, had the  effect of fixing the  rate of interest at  approximately
6.6% on $195 million of variable rate borrowings at June 30, 1994.

Results of Operations - Three months ended July 2, 1994 vs. Three months  ended
July 3, 1993

Textron reported second quarter net income  of $110 million ($1.22 per  share),
up 17%  from 1993  net  income of  $94 million  ($1.05  per share).    Revenues
increased 12% to $2.5 billion in 1994 from $2.3 billion in 1993.  Earnings  per
share for 1994 reflect an increased number of average shares outstanding.

The Aircraft  segment's  revenues increased  $60  million (13%),  while  income
increased $9 million (30%).  Bell's revenues and income increased, primarily as
a result of  higher sales of  military aircraft and  higher revenues under  the
Bell-Boeing V-22  engineering  and manufacturing  development  contract  (EMD),
partially offset by lower sales of  both military and commercial spare  parts.
Cessna's income approximated  last year's  level, as the  benefit of  increased
aircraft sales and lower product development expenses related to the Citation X
aircraft were  offset  by higher  product  support  costs and  higher  bid  and
proposal expenses  for  the  Joint Primary  Aircraft  Training  System  (JPATS)
competition for a new military jet trainer.

The Automotive segment's revenues  and income increased  by $100 million  (33%)
and $12 million  (41%), respectively,  due primarily  to the  inclusion of  the
operating results of Textron  Acustar Plastics (acquired in  May 1993) for  all
three months  in 1994  compared to  two months  in 1993  and higher  automotive
production, partially offset  by higher costs  related to the  start-up of  new
plants at Textron Automotive Interiors.

The Industrial segment's revenues increased $61 million (17%), due  principally
to the inclusion of the operating results of Avdel plc, beginning in the second
quarter of 1994,  and higher  sales at other  fasteners businesses  and in  the
outdoor products businesses.  Income increased $9 million (27%), due  primarily
to the higher sales, improved productivity in the fasteners businesses and  the
addition of Avdel's operating income in 1994, which exceeded dividend income of
$3 million from Avdel in 1993.

The Systems and Components  segment's revenues decreased  $12 million (3%)  and
income decreased $20  million (59%), due  primarily to lower  sales at  Textron
Lycoming Turbine  Engine  (principally  attributable to  reduced  shipments  of
turbine engines  for  the  Abrams  main  battle  tank)  and  certain  valuation
adjustments at that division.  Income was also lower at Textron Marine and Land
Systems as a result  of a cumulative unfavorable  profit adjustment on  certain
combat vehicle  and turret  contracts.   At  the  remaining divisions  in  this
segment, revenues and income, in the aggregate, approximated the  corresponding
1993 levels.

The Systems and  Components income from  operations for the  full year 1994  is
expected to  be significantly  below such  income for  1993, principally  as  a
result of lower sales  and certain valuation adjustments  in the first half  of
1994 at Textron's  Lycoming Turbine  Engine division.   The  completion of  the
pending sale  of  that  division  (see Note 3  to  the  consolidated  financial
statements) would further reduce this segment's income from operations.

The Finance segment's revenues increased $6 million while income increased  $12
million (17%).  AFS' revenues increased  slightly, due primarily to the  higher
level of finance receivables outstanding  and an increase in investment  income
due to improving  yields, largely  offset by a  decrease in  yields on  finance
receivables and  a  decrease  in  premiums  earned  in  its  nonfinance-related
insurance business.  Its income increased, due to (a) a higher level of finance
receivables outstanding, (b) a  decrease in the cost  of borrowed funds, (c)  a
decrease in insurance losses  and (d) an increase  in investment income due  to
improving yields,  partially offset  by (e)  a decrease  in yields  on  finance
receivables.  Revenues  at TFC  increased slightly, due  to a  higher level  of
finance receivables  outstanding and  higher prepayment  fee income,  partially
offset by a decrease  in yields on  receivables.  Its  income increased due  to
those factors and a decrease in loan loss provisions, reflecting a reduction in
commercial real estate asset charge-offs.

Paul Revere's revenues increased $49 million (17%), due to continued growth  in
its individual  disability  income and  group  lines of  business,  higher  net
realized investment gains and higher  investment income.  Its income  increased
$4 million (12%), primarily as a  result of the higher net realized  investment
gains and increased premium and  investment income, partially offset by  higher
individual and  group disability  income benefit  ratios.   The higher  benefit
ratios in the  individual disability income  business were the  result of  poor
results  in  Paul  Revere's  excess  risk  reinsurance  business  and   adverse
experience on policies issued between 1985 and 1989.  Group disability  results
were negatively impacted by claims in  southern California and the Province  of
Quebec and by claims on a specific product that had been sold to physicians and
other professionals.  Paul Revere's investment income increased as a result  of
(a) a  higher level  of invested  assets, offset  in part  by lower  investment
yields, and (b) higher net realized  investment gains ($11 million in 1994  vs.
$2 million in 1993).

Corporate expenses and other - net for the three months ended July 2, 1994 were
slightly lower than  the 1993  level.  Lower  interest expense  of the  Textron
Parent Company Borrowing  Group primarily  reflected a lower  level of  average
borrowing.  The quarter's results  reflected a slightly lower effective  income
tax rate than the corresponding prior year rate, as the effect of the  increase
in the federal statutory tax rate from  34% to 35% (new tax legislation  passed
in the third quarter of 1993, retroactive to the beginning of 1993) was  offset
by lower foreign  and state income  taxes, resulting  from a change  in mix  of
income among taxing jurisdictions.

Results of Operations  - Six months  ended July  2, 1994 vs.  Six months  ended
July 3, 1993

Net income for the first  half of 1994 was $210  million ($2.32 per share),  up
19% from 1993 net income of $177 million ($1.97 per share).  Revenues increased
11% to $4.9 billion in 1994 from $4.4 billion in 1993.  Earnings per share  for
1994 reflect an increased number of average shares outstanding.

The Aircraft  segment's revenues  increased $152  million (17%),  while  income
increased $25 million (50%).   Bell's revenues and income increased,  primarily
as a result of  higher sales of military  aircraft, higher international  sales
and higher revenues  under the  V-22 EMD  contract, partially  offset by  lower
sales of  both military  and commercial  spare parts  sales.   Cessna's  income
approximated last year's level, as the benefit of increased aircraft sales  and
lower product  development expenses  related to  the Citation X  aircraft  were
offset by higher product support costs and higher bid and proposal expenses for
the JPATS competition for a new military jet trainer.

The Automotive segment's revenues and  income increased $238 million (43%)  and
$26 million  (52%),  respectively,  due  primarily  to  the  inclusion  of  the
operating results of Textron  Acustar Plastics (acquired in  May 1993) for  all
six months  in  1994 compared  to  two months  in  1993 and  higher  automotive
production, partially offset  by higher costs  related to the  start-up of  new
plants at Textron Automotive Interiors.

The Industrial segment's revenues increased $90 million (13%), due  principally
to the inclusion of the operating results of Avdel plc, beginning in the second
quarter of 1994,  and higher  sales at other  fasteners businesses  and in  the
outdoor products businesses.   Income increased $17 million  (28%), due to  the
higher sales, improved productivity in the fasteners business and the  addition
of Avdel's operating income.

The Systems  and Components  segment's revenues  decreased $61  million  (7%).
Income decreased $49 million (65%), due primarily to (a) lower sales at Textron
Lycoming Turbine  Engine  (principally  attributable to  reduced  shipments  of
turbine engines  for  the  Abrams  main  battle  tank)  and  certain  valuation
adjustments  at  that  division,  (b)  first  quarter  provisions  for  further
consolidation of  manufacturing operations  and certain  legal matters,  (c)  a
cumulative unfavorable profit adjustment on  certain combat vehicle and  turret
contracts at Textron Marine  and Land Systems and  (d) lower revenues at  other
divisions, principally Textron Defense Systems and Textron Aerostructures.

At Textron Defense Systems, income  decreased on substantially lower  revenues,
due principally  to  the  wind  down of  a  military  communications  satellite
contract and a  cumulative favorable  profit adjustment  in 1993  on a  missile
contract, partially  offset by  increased revenues  in 1994  on a  sensor-fuzed
weapon program and the effect of a  loss in 1993 on a mobile microwave  landing
system contract.   Textron Aerostructures' income  decreased, principally as  a
result of a cumulative favorable profit  adjustment on a long-term contract  in
1993.   Its  revenues  were lower  than  the  1993 level  as  lower  commercial
aerospace sales  in  1994 and  nonrecurring  tooling revenues  on  a  long-term
contract in  1993 were  partially  offset by  the  completion of  the  Titan IV
contract in 1994.

The Finance segment's revenues increased $4 million while income increased  $20
million (14%).  AFS' revenues decreased  slightly, due primarily to a  decrease
in premiums  earned in  its  nonfinance-related insurance  business,  partially
offset by an increase in investment income due to improving yields.  Its income
increased, due to (a) a higher level of finance receivables outstanding, (b)  a
decrease in the cost of borrowed funds, (c) a decrease in insurance losses  and
(d) an increase in investment income, due to improving yields, partially offset
by (e) a decrease in yields on finance receivables.  Revenues at TFC increased,
due to a higher level of  finance receivables outstanding and higher  leveraged
lease income primarily related  to the sales  of residual appreciation  rights,
partially offset by a decrease in yields on receivables.  Its income  increased
due to those factors and a decrease in the cost of borrowed funds.

Paul Revere's revenues increased $85 million (15%), due to continued growth  in
its individual  disability  income and  group  lines of  business,  higher  net
realized investment gains and higher  investment income.  Its income  increased
$14 million (22%), primarily as a result of the higher net realized  investment
gains and increased premium and  investment income, partially offset by  higher
individual and  group disability  income benefit  ratios.   The higher  benefit
ratios in the  individual disability income  business were the  result of  poor
results  in  Paul  Revere's  excess  risk  reinsurance  business  and   adverse
experience on policies issued between 1985 and 1989.  Group disability  results
were negatively impacted by claims in  southern California and the Province  of
Quebec and by claims on a specific product that had been sold to physicians and
other professionals.  Paul Revere's investment income increased as a result  of
(a) a  higher level  of invested  assets, offset  in part  by lower  investment
yields, and (b) higher net realized  investment gains ($16 million in 1994  vs.
$3 million in  1993).   Realized investment gains  in 1994  ($20 million)  were
partially offset by an increased provision for other than temporary declines in
values of investments ($4 million).

Corporate expenses and  other - net for  the first half  of 1994 were  slightly
lower than  the 1993  level.   Lower  interest expense  of the  Textron  Parent
Company  Borrowing  Group  primarily  reflected   a  lower  level  of   average
borrowing.  The first half results reflected a slightly lower effective  income
tax rate than the corresponding prior year rate, as the effect of the  increase
in the federal statutory tax rate from  34% to 35% (new tax legislation  passed
in the third quarter of 1993, retroactive to the beginning of 1993) was  offset
by lower foreign  and state income  taxes, resulting  from a change  in mix  of
income among taxing jurisdictions.

                          PART II.   OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         In early  1989,  Textron  acquired  Avdel  plc,  a  fastening  systems
         manufacturing business  based  in England,  the  total cost  of  which
         approximated $254 million.  In  February 1989, the U.S. Federal  Trade
         Commission (FTC) challenged the acquisition  under antitrust law.   On
         May 10, 1994,  the FTC  gave final  approval to  a settlement  of  the
         matter.  Textron acquired control of Avdel plc on May 17, 1994,  after
         complying with  the  FTC  settlement  by  licensing  Avdel's  Monobolt
         non-aerospace  blind   rivet  and   divesting  certain   manufacturing
         equipment to  the  licensee.    Textron  commenced  consolidating  the
         results of  operations of  Avdel in  its financial  statements in  the
         second quarter of 1994.

         On October 5, 1993,  the Ohio Environmental  Protection Agency  ("Ohio
         EPA") issued  a proposed  consent order  concerning compliance  issues
         related to  air emissions  from Textron's  Randall Division  plant  in
         Wilmington, Ohio.  The Ohio EPA  is currently seeking a civil  penalty
         of $300,000.  Textron is negotiating with the Ohio EPA to resolve  the
         matter.

         In addition, there are pending  or threatened against Textron and  its
         subsidiaries  lawsuits  and  other  proceedings,  some  which   allege
         violations of  federal  government  procurement  regulations,  involve
         environmental matters, or are or purport  to be class actions.   Among
         these suits and proceedings are  some which seek compensatory,  treble
         or punitive  damages  in  substantial  amounts;  fines,  penalties  or
         restitution; the  cleanup of  allegedly  hazardous wastes;  or,  under
         federal government procurement regulations, could result in suspension
         or debarment  of  Textron or  its  subsidiaries from  U.S.  Government
         contracting for a  period of time.   These suits  and proceedings  are
         being  defended   or  contested   on  behalf   of  Textron   and   its
         subsidiaries.   On  the  basis  of  information  presently  available,
         Textron believes  that  any  such  liability  or  the  impact  of  the
         application of  relevant  government  regulations  would  not  have  a
         material effect on Textron's net income or financial condition.

                                        TEXTRON                            1994
LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN   ARTICLE I -- GENERAL        1.1 PURPOSE.  This  Plan
authorizes the  grant of  stock options  ("Options") and/or  performance  share
units ("Performance Share Units") to  officers and other selected employees  of
Textron Inc. ("Textron") and its related  companies to induce them to  continue
as Textron employees and to reward them for improvement in Textron's  long-term
performance.        1.2 ADMINISTRATION.  (a) The Board of Directors of  Textron
(the  "Board")  shall  appoint  from   among  its  members  a  committee   (the
"Committee") consisting of no fewer than three directors, none of whom shall be
eligible, and none of whom shall have been eligible at any time within one year
prior to or  after exercising  discretion in  administering the  Plan, for  any
award under the Plan or under any other employee benefit plan of Textron or any
related company. Unless otherwise  specified by the  Board, the Committee,  for
purposes hereof, shall mean the Organization and Compensation Committee of  the
Board.        (b) The Committee shall have the power subject to and within  the
limits of the Plan:                 (1)  to determine from  time to time  which
eligible persons shall be       granted  Options under the Plan, which  Options
shall be "Incentive       Options" and which shall be "Non-Qualified  Options,"
as each is      hereinafter defined, the term of each granted Option, the  time
or times       during the term of each  Option within which all or portions  of
the Option        may be  exercised and the  number of shares  covered by  each
Option;              (2) to determine from time to time which eligible  persons
shall be      granted Performance Share Units under the Plan, to fix the number
of       Performance Share  Units covered by each  grant and the conditions  of
each       grant;               (3) to construe  and interpret the Plan and  to
establish, amend and      revoke rules and regulations for its  administration.
The Committee, in       the exercise  of this power, shall generally  determine
all questions of      policy and expediency that may arise and may correct  any
defect, omission          or inconsistency  in  the Plan  or in  any  agreement
evidencing an award      hereunder in a manner and to the extent it shall  deem
necessary or      expedient to make the Plan fully  effective;              (4)
to prescribe the terms  and provisions of  any award under an        Option  or
Performance Share Unit  granted pursuant to  this Plan;                 (5)  to
authorize payments in  accordance with  Sections 2.5, 3.3,  3.4        or  3.6;
and             (6) generally, to exercise such powers and to perform such acts
in        connection  with the Plan  as are  deemed necessary  or expedient  to
promote      the best  interests of Textron.         (c) The Board at any  time
may designate one or more officers or committees of Textron to act in place  of
the Committee in making any determination or taking any action under the  Plan.
Notwithstanding the above,  all decisions  concerning the Plan  that relate  to
persons who are Directors or Principal Officers of Textron shall be made by the
Committee.         (d) The Board at  any time may revest administration of  the
Plan, including all powers and duties of the Committee, in the Board,  provided
that in any matter relating  to the administration of  the Plan, a majority  of
the Board and a majority  of the directors acting on  such matter shall not  be
eligible, and shall not have  been eligible at any  time within one year  prior
thereto, for a grant under the Plan or under any other employee benefit plan of
Textron or any  related company.  In such event  all references  herein to  the
Committee      shall      be       deemed      to       refer      to       the
Board.                                          A-1         (e) All  actions
of the Board, the Committee or any designate under Section 1.2(c) in connection
with the Plan shall be final, conclusive  and binding. No member of the  Board,
the Committee or any designated committee, nor any designated officer, shall be
liable for any action taken or decision made in good faith relating to the Plan
or any grant or award  hereunder.         1.3  ELIGIBILITY.  The Committee  may
grant Options  or Performance  Share  Units under  the  Plan to  any  full-time
employee of Textron or of any related company (determined at the date of grant)
who is a corporate officer, Division or subsidiary president, administrative or
professional  employee,  or  other  selected  employee  capable  of  making   a
substantial contribution  to the  success of  Textron. Options  or  Performance
Share Units may be granted to full-time  employees who are also members of  the
Board. In making grants  and determining their form  and amount, the  Committee
shall consider functions and responsibilities  of the employee, the  employee's
potential contributions to profitability and  sound growth of Textron and  such
other factors as the Committee deems relevant.        1.4 GRANTS.  Grants under
the Plan may be comprised of either or both of the following:               (a)
Options as described in Article II; and             (b) Performance Share Units
as described in Article III;        1.5 EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN.  The Plan shall
be submitted to  Textron shareholders  for approval  at the  annual meeting  on
April 27,  1994,  or at  any  adjournment of  such  meeting, and  shall  become
effective immediately following  its approval  by the affirmative  vote of  the
holders of  a majority  of the  shares present  and entitled  to vote  at  such
meeting.          1.6 AGGREGATE LIMITATION  ON GRANTS.   (a) Shares of  Textron
Common Stock ("Common Stock") which may be issued pursuant to grants under  the
Plan may be either authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock or authorized
and issued shares of Common Stock purchased or acquired by Textron for this  or
any other  purpose. Subject  to section  4.9(a) (relating  to adjustments  upon
changes in stock), the maximum  number of shares of  Common Stock which may  be
subject to Options under the Plan shall be 5,000,000, and the maximum number of
Performance  Share  Units  which  may  be  granted  under  the  Plan  shall  be
1,200,000.        (b) In  the event that (1) any Option granted under the  Plan
expires unexercised or is terminated or cancelled for any reason without having
been exercised in full or  (2) all or any part  of any Performance Share  Units
granted under the Plan are terminated or unearnable for any reason, the  number
of shares of Common Stock theretofore subject to such Option, or the number  of
such Performance  Share Units,  or the  unexercised, terminated,  cancelled  or
unearnable portion thereof, shall be added to the remaining number of shares of
Common Stock and  Performance Share  Units, respectively,  available for  grant
under the Plan.    ARTICLE II  -- OPTIONS          2.1 GRANT  OF OPTIONS.   The
Committee may from time to time, subject to the provisions of the Plan and such
other terms and conditions as it may prescribe, grant to eligible employees one
or more Options to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Plan. A maximum of
75,000 Options can  be granted  to any  eligible employee  during any  calendar
year. Options  granted hereunder  may be  incentive stock  options  ("Incentive
Options") under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as it may  be
amended. Section 422 and the Internal Revenue  Code of 1986, as each may be  in
effect from time to time, are hereinafter referred to, respectively as  Section
422 and the Code. Options granted hereunder which are not Incentive Options are
referred to as  "Non-Qualified Options."  A-2   ^L                 2.2  OPTION
AGREEMENTS.   The grant  of an  Option shall  be evidenced by a written  Option
Agreement, executed by Textron and the  optionee, stating the number of  shares
of Common Stock subject to the Option, designating whether and to  what  extent
the    Option  is  an    Incentive  Option  and    containing  such  investment
representations and other terms and conditions  as the Committee may from  time
to time   determine,  or as  may be   required  by Section  422 or   any  other
applicable law.             2.3  OPTION PRICE.   The  purchase  price for   the
Common Stock covered by any Option granted  under the Plan shall in no case  be
less than 100% of the  fair market value of such  Common Stock at the time  the
Option is granted. The purchase price of the shares as to which an Option shall
be exercised shall be paid in full at  the time of exercise at the election  of
the optionee (1) in cash,  (2) by tendering to  Textron shares of Common  Stock
then owned by the optionee  having a fair market  value equal to such  purchase
price, or (3) partly  in cash and  partly in shares of  Common Stock valued  at
fair market value.        2.4 TERM OF OPTION.  The term of each Option  granted
under the Plan shall be  for such period as  the Committee shall determine  but
not more  than 10  years from  the date  of grant  thereof in  the case  of  an
Incentive Option.  Each  Option shall  be  subject to  earlier  termination  as
provided in Section  2.6 or  under Section  2.7, if  applicable.            2.5
EXERCISE OF OPTION.  Each Option granted under the Plan shall be exercisable on
such date or dates  during the term  thereof and for such  number of shares  of
Common Stock as may  be provided in the  Option Agreement evidencing its  grant
provided that an Option shall  not be exercisable for  less than 50 shares  (or
the remaining number of  shares subject to  the Option if  that number is  less
than 50). No option shall be exercisable for at least six months after the date
of its issuance. To exercise an Option as to all or part of the shares  covered
thereby, an optionee  shall furnish to  the Secretary of  Textron at  Textron's
principal office written  notice of  such exercise together  with the  purchase
price for the shares. The notice shall specify the number of shares then  being
purchased. In the discretion of the Committee, the Option Agreement may provide
that shares  may be  issued in  the name  of the  optionee and  another  person
jointly with rights of survivorship. During the life of the optionee, an Option
shall be exercisable  only by  the optionee or  by the  optionee's guardian  or
legal representative.             2.6 TERMINATION  OF EMPLOYMENT.   (a)  If  an
optionee's employment with  Textron or  a related company  shall terminate  for
cause, as determined by the Committee,  all Options held by the optionee  shall
expire immediately.         (b) If the employment with Textron and its  related
companies of an optionee who is not described in Section 2.6(a) shall end after
the optionee has become  eligible under a  Textron salaried employees'  pension
plan for a normal or an early  retirement benefit, the optionee shall have  the
right to exercise each  Option granted to the  optionee within 36 months  after
the end of the optionee's employment (or  within such shorter period as may  be
specified in  the  related  Option  Agreement) to  the  extent  the  Option  is
exercisable at the time of  exercise.          (c) If an optionee's  employment
with Textron and its related companies shall end as a result of the  optionee's
total disability, the  optionee shall have  the right to  exercise each  Option
granted to the optionee  as to all unexercised  shares until the expiration  of
its term. For purposes of the foregoing sentence and section 3.5(b)(1),  "total
disability" shall mean a permanent mental or physical disability as  determined
by the Committee.        (d) If an optionee shall die while employed by Textron
or a related  company or  while any  Option granted  to the  optionee is  still
exercisable under Section 2.6(b), (c) or (e), any such Option may be  exercised
as to all unexercised shares within a period  of one year from the date of  the
optionee's death   by   the   executor   or  A-3   ^L    administrator  of  the
optionee's estate or by the person or  persons to whom the optionee shall  have
transferred  such     right  by  will   or  by   the  laws     of  descent   or
distribution.          (e)  If an  optionee's employment with  Textron and  its
related companies  shall end for any  reason not specified in  Sections 2.6(a),
(b), (c) or  (d), the optionee  shall have the  right to exercise  each  Option
granted to the optionee within three  months after his or her termination  but,
unless  otherwise determined   by the   Committee, only   to the   extent   the
Option is exercisable at the time of such termination of employment.        (f)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.6, in no event shall
an Option be exercisable after the expiration of its term.        2.7 INCENTIVE
OPTIONS.  (a) Incentive  Options shall be subject  to the additional terms  and
conditions of this Section 2.7.        (b) No Incentive Option shall be  issued
hereunder to any individual who, at  the time the Incentive Option is  granted,
owns stock possessing more than 10  percent of the total combined voting  power
of all classes of stock of Textron  or any related company.         (c) To  the
extent that the  aggregate fair  market value (determined  as of  the time  the
Incentive Option is  granted) of  the Common Stock  with respect  to which  any
incentive stock  options granted  are  exercisable for  the  first time  by  an
optionee during any calendar year (under all employee benefit plans of  Textron
and its related companies) exceeds $100,000  (or such larger maximum as may  be
permitted under the Code for incentive  stock options granted to an  individual
employee at the time  the Incentive Option is  granted), such options shall  be
treated as Non-Qualified  Options.           (d) Any optionee  who disposes  of
shares of Common  Stock acquired  by or pursuant  to exercise  of an  Incentive
Option by sale, exchange, gift or other disposition described in Section 424(c)
of the Code, either  (1) within two years  after the date of  the grant of  the
Incentive Option under which the shares  were acquired, or (2) within one  year
of the acquisition  of such shares,  shall notify the  Secretary of Textron  at
Textron's principal  office  of  such disposition,  the  amount  realized,  the
exercise price and the date of exercise of such shares. Textron shall have  the
right to withhold  from other  sums which  it may owe  to the  optionee, or  to
accept remittance by the optionee of sums  in lieu of, an amount sufficient  to
satisfy any Federal, state and  local withholding tax requirements relating  to
such a disposition.         (e) The Option Agreement with respect to  Incentive
Options shall contain such other provisions  as may be required by Section  422
or any other applicable  law.    ARTICLE  III  -- PERFORMANCE SHARE  UNITS  3.1
AWARD OF  PERFORMANCE SHARE  UNITS.   (a)   The Committee may,   from time   to
time, subject to the provisions of the Plan and such other terms and conditions
as the  Committee  may prescribe,  grant  to  eligible employees  one  or  more
Performance Share Units. Such grants shall be evidenced in writing.         (b)
"Performance Share  Units"  means  fictional shares  of  Textron  Common  Stock
accumulated and  accounted  for  under  this  Plan  for  the  sole  purpose  of
determining  the  cash  amount  of  any  distribution  on  account  of   earned
Performance Share  Units.  The existence  of  Performance Share  Units  is  for
record-keeping  purposes  only  and  does   not  require  any  segregation   of
assets.          3.2 CONDITIONS OF  GRANT.  When a  grant of Performance  Share
Units is made,  the Committee shall  determine: (1) the  number of  Performance
Share Units included  in the  grant; (2)  the primary  and minimum  performance
targets  ("Performance  Targets")  or  measures  ("Performance  Measures"),  as
described further in Section  3.4; and (3) the  period ("Award Period")  during
which  the   Performance   Targets   or  Performance   Measures   are   to   be
accomplished.                                              A-4            3.3
PAYMENT FOR PERFORMANCE SHARE UNITS.  Payment in respect of earned  Performance
Share Units shall be due not more than 90 days after the Award Period for  such
Performance Share  Units  has  ended.  Such  payment  shall  be  in  an  amount
determined under Section 3.6, or in a  greater amount pursuant to the last  two
sentences of  Section 3.4,  and  shall be  made in  one  or more  equal  annual
installments subject  to  such terms  and  conditions as  the  Committee  shall
specify. Payments for Performance Share Units shall be made in cash.        3.4
PERFORMANCE  MEASURES  AND  PERFORMANCE  TARGETS.    Upon  making  a  grant  of
Performance Share Units, the Committee shall establish one or more  Performance
Measures or primary  and minimum  Performance Targets  to be  attained for  the
Award Period as a condition of the related Performance Share Units being earned
in  whole  or  part.  The  Committee  may  establish  Performance  Measures  or
Performance Targets for Textron and for  any of its Divisions, subsidiaries  or
other business  units.  Performance  Measures or  Performance  Targets  may  be
expressed as an increase in Textron's earnings per share, net operating profit,
return on equity or in terms of any other standard, financial or otherwise,  as
the Committee may determine. Attainment of  a primary Performance Target in  an
Award Period shall result in the earning of all of the Performance Share  Units
related to that  Performance Target.  Failure to attain  a minimum  Performance
Target in  an  Award  Period  shall  result in  the  failure  to  earn  any  of
Performance Share Units related to that Performance Target. Attainment  between
a primary and a minimum Performance Target  in an Award Period shall result  in
the earning  of a  portion of  the  Performance Share  Units related  to  those
Performance Targets, as  the Committee  or, in  the case  of non-officers,  the
chief executive officer of Textron, may determine. Achievement beyond a primary
Performance Target may  result in the  earning of  more than the  value of  the
Performance Share Units related  to that Performance  Target, as the  Committee
may determine. Performance Share Units, or any amount in excess of the value of
the Performance Share Units, related to one or more Performance Measures  shall
be earned only  as determined  by the Committee.            3.5 TERMINATION  OF
EMPLOYMENT.  (a) If  a grantee's employment with  Textron or a related  company
shall terminate  for less  than acceptable  performance, as  determined by  the
Committee, all of  the grantee's  outstanding Performance Share  Units will  be
cancelled immediately.           (b)  If the  employment with  Textron and  its
related companies of a grantee who is not described in Section 3.5(a) shall end
during an Award Period but more than one year after its  beginning: (1) due  to
death  or total disability,  or after the grantee   has        become  eligible
for an early or normal retirement benefit under a Textron      pension plan for
salaried employees,  the grantee or the  grantee's       successor  in interest
shall be entitled to payment on  account of the       Performance  Share  Units
earned  during that   Award Period,   if any,  as  if           the   grantee's
employment had continued throughout  that Award Period;  or                 (2)
otherwise than as described in Section 3.5(b)(1), the  Committee      may  deem
all or any portion of the grantee's Performance Share Units for      that Award
Period to have been earned.         (c) If a grantee's employment with  Textron
and its related companies shall end during an Award Period but one year or less
after its beginning, all of the  grantee's Performance Share Units relating  to
that Award Period shall be cancelled.          3.6 AMOUNT OF PAYMENT FOR  SHARE
UNITS.  Any  payment with respect  to earned Performance  Share Units shall  be
made in cash and shall be in an amount equal to the product of (1) the  current
value of Textron  Common Stock on  the date  on which they  are deemed  earned,
times (2) the number of whole and fractional Performance Share Units which have
been earned. For purposes of this Plan, earned Performance Share Units shall be
deemed earned as  of the last  day of  the applicable Award  Period unless  the
Committee determines otherwise.                                             A-5
^L         3.7 CURRENT VALUE.   As used in the  Plan, the "current value" of  a
share of Textron Common Stock on any date shall be the average of the composite
closing prices therefor, as  reported in The Wall  Street Journal, for the  ten
trading days after the date.   ARTICLE IV --  MISCELLANEOUS        4.1  GENERAL
RESTRICTION. Each  grant  or award  under  the Plan  shall  be subject  to  the
requirement that, if at any time the Committee shall determine that any listing
or registration of the shares of Common Stock or any consent or approval of any
governmental body, or any other agreement or consent, is necessary or desirable
as a condition  of a grant,  an award or  issuance of Common  Stock or cash  in
satisfaction thereof, such grant  or award may not  be consummated unless  each
such requirement is satisfied in   a manner acceptable  to the  Committee.  4.2
NON-ASSIGNABILITY.    No   award  under the   Plan  shall   be  assignable   or
transferable by the recipient thereof, except by will or by the laws of descent
and distribution.         4.3 WITHHOLDING TAXES.  Whenever Textron proposes  to
or is required  to issue or  transfer shares  of Common Stock  under the  Plan,
Textron shall have the right to withhold or to require the participant to remit
to Textron  an  amount sufficient  to  satisfy  any Federal,  state  and  local
withholding tax requirements. Whenever under  the Plan payments by Textron  are
to be made  in cash,  such payments  shall be net  of an  amount sufficient  to
satisfy any Federal, state and local withholding tax  requirements.         4.4
NO RIGHT TO EMPLOYMENT.  Nothing in  the Plan or in any agreement entered  into
pursuant to it shall confer upon any  participant the right to continue in  the
employment of Textron or a related company or affect any right which Textron or
a  related   company   may  have   to   terminate  the   employment   of   such
participant.         4.5 NON-UNIFORM  DETERMINATION.  The determinations  under
the Plan of the Committee or of any designate (including without limitation its
determinations of the persons  to receive grants or  awards, the form,  amount,
timing and payment of such grants or  awards, the terms and provisions of  such
grants or awards, and the establishment of Performance Measures or  Performance
Targets) need not be uniform  and may be made  by it selectively among  persons
who receive, or are eligible to receive, awards under the Plan, whether or  not
such persons are similarly  situated.          4.6 NO RIGHTS AS   SHAREHOLDERS.
Recipients of  grants  or  awards  under  the Plan  shall  have  no  rights  as
shareholders of  Textron unless  and until  certificates for  shares of  Common
Stock are issued to  them.          4.7 FAIR  MARKET VALUE.   Except as may  be
required by Section 422 or any other applicable law, as used in the Plan, "fair
market value" on  any date  shall be  the simple average  of the  high and  low
prices  of  the  Common  Stock  on  the  New  York  Stock  Exchange   Composite
Transactions Listing on such date.        4.8 RELATED COMPANY.  As used in  the
Plan "related company" means  any corporation in which  Textron at the time  in
question owns, directly or indirectly, stock  possessing 50 percent or more  of
the total combined  voting power of  all classes of  stock and any  corporation
which at the time in question owns, directly or indirectly, a similar  interest
in Textron.          4.9 ADJUSTMENTS  FOR CERTAIN CHANGES.   (a) The  aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock  and of Performance Share Units available  for
grant under the  Plan, the number  of shares  of Common Stock  covered by  each
outstanding Option or Performance Share Unit  and the price per share  thereof,
and the maximum number of Options that can be awarded to any eligible  employee
shall all  be proportionately  adjusted for  any increase  or decrease  in  the
number of issued  shares of Common  Stock resulting from  a stock split,  stock
dividend or any  other increase or  decrease in such  shares effective  without
receipt of  consideration  by  Textron. A-6  ^L          (b) The  Committee may
in its    discretion and  for  purposes   of  determining  whether  Performance
Measures or Performance  Targets have  been  met,  equitably restate  Textron's
earnings per  share,  net operating  profit,  return  on equity  or  any  other
standard utilized  in establishing  the Performance   Measures  or  Performance
Targets in order to take into account  the effect, if any, of (1)  acquisitions
or  dispositions    of  businesses  by     Textron,  (2)  extraordinary     and
non-recurring events,  (3)  a change  in  capitalization described  in  Section
4.9(a), or (4) any change  in accounting practices, tax  laws or other laws  or
regulations that, in the  opinion of the  Committee, significantly affects  the
financial performance  of Textron.             4.10  CHANGE  IN CONTROL.    (a)
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan,  in the event of a change  in
control as defined in Section 4.10(b):                (1) the Award Period  for
each outstanding Performance  Share Unit        shall end,  and each such  unit
shall be deemed to have been earned, as of      the end of the Award Period and
shall be payable immediately  and in full;        and                 (2)  each
unexpired Option shall be exercisable,  beginning       immediately, as to  all
remaining shares subject to the Option.        (b) For purposes of this Plan, a
"change in control"  shall occur  if (i) any  "person" or  "group" (within  the
meaning of Sections 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of  1934,
as amended (the "Act"))  other than Textron, any  "person" who on February  23,
1994 was  a director  or officer  of Textron,  any trustee  or other  fiduciary
holding Common Stock  under an employee  benefit plan of  Textron or a  related
company, or any  corporation which  is owned,  directly or  indirectly, by  the
stockholders  of  Textron  in  substantially  the  same  proportions  as  their
ownership of Common Stock, is or becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined  in
Rule 13d-3  under the  Act)  of more  than thirty  percent  (30%) of  the  then
outstanding voting  stock  of  Textron,  or  (ii)  during  any  period  of  two
consecutive years, individuals who at  the beginning of such period  constitute
the Board (and any new director whose election by the Board or whose nomination
for election  by Textron's  stockholders was  approved by  a vote  of at  least
two-thirds of the directors then still  in office who either were directors  at
the beginning of such period or  whose election or nomination for election  was
previously so approved) cease for any reason to constitute a majority  thereof,
or (iii)  the shareholders  of Textron  approve a  merger or  consolidation  of
Textron with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation  which
would result in the voting securities of Textron outstanding immediately  prior
thereto continuing to represent  (either by remaining  outstanding or by  being
converted into  voting securities  of the  surviving entity)  more than  eighty
percent (80%) of the combined voting power of the voting securities of  Textron
or  such  surviving  entity  outstanding  immediately  after  such  merger   or
consolidation, or (iv) the shareholders of  Textron approve a plan of  complete
liquidation of Textron of an agreement  for the sale or disposition by  Textron
of all or  substantially all of  Textron's assets.           4.11 AMENDMENT  OR
TERMINATION  OF  THE  PLAN.    The  Board,  without  further  approval  of  the
shareholders, may at any time  terminate the Plan or  any part thereof and  may
from time  to time  amend the  Plan as  it may  deem advisable  including  with
respect to  Incentive Options  any  changes deemed  necessary or  desirable  to
comply with Section 422 and any regulations thereunder; provided, however, that
without shareholder  approval, the  Board may  not (a)  increase the  aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued under the Plan (other than
increases permitted under Section 4.9(a)) or (b) extend the period during which
an Incentive Option may be exercised beyond 10 years. Termination or  amendment
of the Plan shall not, without the consent of the individual, affect any  right
of such individual (including without limitation any right under Section  4.10)
under an award previously granted.                                         A-7
