               Report of Independent Auditors

The Benefits Committee
Textron Savings Plan

We  have  audited the accompanying statements of net  assets
available  for  benefits of the Textron  Savings  Plan  (the
Plan)  as  of  December 31, 1994 and 1993, and  the  related
statements  of changes in net assets available for  benefits
for  the  years then ended.  These financial statements  are
the   responsibility   of   the  Plan's   management.    Our
responsibility  is to express an opinion on these  financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing  standards.  Those standards require that  we  plan
and  perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance  about
whether  the  financial  statements  are  free  of  material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence  supporting  the amounts  and  disclosures  in  the
financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing  the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management,  as  well  as evaluating the  overall  financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits  provide
a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In  our opinion, the financial statements referred to  above
present  fairly, in all material respects,  the  net  assets
available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 1994  and
1993,  and the changes in net assets available for  benefits
for  the  years  then  ended, in conformity  with  generally
accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on
the  basic  financial  statements taken  as  a  whole.   The
accompanying  supplemental  schedules  of  assets  held  for
investment  as  of  December 31, 1994, and  transactions  or
series of transactions in excess of 5% of the current  value
of  plan  assets for the year then ended are  presented  for
purposes  of complying with the Department of Labor's  Rules
and  Regulations  for  Reporting and  Disclosure  under  the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and are not
a required part of the basic financial statements.  The Fund
Information  in  the statement of net assets  available  for
benefits  and  the  statements  of  changes  in  net  assets
available   for  benefits  is  presented  for  purposes   of
additional  analysis rather than to present the  net  assets
available  for  benefits  of each  fund.   The  supplemental
schedules  and Fund Information have been subjected  to  the
auditing  procedures  applied in our  audits  of  the  basic
financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly  stated
in  all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

                                Notes to Financial Statements
                                 December 31, 1994 and 1993

1.  Description of Plan

The Textron Savings Plan (the "Plan") is an employee stock ownership plan. 
For a description of the Plan,   refer   to    the
Summary Plan Description that is on file with the Department
of Labor and available at the Human Resources office of Textron Inc.
("Textron").

2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

General

The Plan is administered under the terms of a Trust
Agreement, dated May 1, 1989, with Bankers Trust Company
(the "Trustee").

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform
to the current year's financial statement presentation.

Investment Options

The Plan allows employee contributions to be invested in
Fund A, B, or C, based on the election of the employee.  The
employee must contribute at least 50% to Fund A.  Fund H is
available to any participant who has attained age 55 and
completed ten years of Textron service.  Employer
contributions are entirely invested in Fund A.

Fund A invests primarily in Textron Common Stock that is
either purchased by the Trustee or contributed by Textron.

Fund B invests primarily in the BT Pyramid Large
Capitalization Equity Index Fund which is principally a
portfolio of common stocks constructed and maintained with
the objective of providing investment results which
approximate the overall performance of the common stocks
included in the Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500
stocks.   During 1993, Fund B invested primarily in the BT
Pyramid Equity Index Fund which had the same basic
investment objective as the BT Pyramid Large Capitalization
Equity Index Fund.

Fund C may be invested in bonds, notes, debentures,
government obligations, insurance contracts, short-term
securities, money market instruments and other fixed income
instruments at the discretion of Textron Inc. or an
Investment Manager designated by Textron.
<PAGE>7
2.  Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Fund H is invested in the BT Pyramid Directed Account Cash
Fund, which is a portfolio of short-term instruments,
primarily demand master notes, certificates of deposit, and
commercial paper.

At the discretion of the Trustee or other Investment
Manager, a portion of the assets of Fund A, B, C, or H may
be maintained in cash or invested in short-term securities
(BT Pyramid Directed Account Cash Fund and BT Pyramid
Discretionary Account Cash Fund).

At December 31, 1994, there were approximately 30,700
participants in Fund A, 11,700 in Fund B, 15,400 in Fund C
and 3 in Fund H.

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

Textron Common Stock is valued at the New York Stock
Exchange closing price on the last business day of the Plan
year.   U.S. Government securities are valued at fair value
as determined by quoted market price.   The BT Pyramid Large
Capitalization Equity Index Fund and BT Pyramid Equity Index
Fund are valued at the redemption price established by the
fund's Trustee which is generally based on the fair value of
the underlying assets.   The BT Pyramid Directed Account Cash
Fund and BT Pyramid Discretionary Account Cash Fund include
pooled temporary investments and are stated at cost which
approximates market value.  Insurance contracts are valued
at contract value which represents contributions made, plus
accrued interest, less funds used to pay employee
withdrawals and administrative expenses.   Participant notes
receivable are valued at cost which approximates fair value.

Purchases and sales of investments are recorded on a trade-
date basis.  Interest income is recorded on the accrual
basis.   Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Dividends, interest and other distributions received by the
Plan are reinvested in the fund in which earned.

2.  Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Fair Value of Insurance Contracts

The  fair values presented in Note 8 are estimates of the
fair values of the insurance contracts at a specific point
in time using available market information and appropriate
valuation methodologies.   These estimates are subjective in
nature and involve uncertainties and significant judgment in
the interpretation of current market data.   Therefore, the
fair values presented are not necessarily indicative of
amounts the Plan could realize or settle currently.  The
Plan does not necessarily intend to dispose of or liquidate
such instruments prior to maturity.   See Note 8 for further

Participants of the Plan are entitled to elect compensation
deferrals within the limits prescribed by Section 401(k) of
the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code").   Contributions from
employees and employee compensation deferrals, which are
matched 50% by Textron subject to certain ERISA restrictions
and plan limits, are recorded when Textron makes payroll
deductions from participants' wages.  The total of the
matching contributions (net of employee forfeitures) made by
Textron is limited by the Textron Board of Directors to $40
million for any calendar year.  For the years ending
December 31, 1994 and 1993, employee contributions included
rollovers of approximately $.9 million and $1 million,
respectively.

Textron makes contributions to the Plan based on estimated
contribution levels.  In addition, Textron may make, at its
own discretion, additional contributions.  To the extent
actual contributions by the participants differ from
estimated contributions, a contribution receivable or
payable from Textron will result.   All forfeitures arising
out of a participant's termination of employment for reasons
other than retirement, disability or death, are used to
reduce future Textron contributions.  Textron's
contributions are also reduced by the market value of any
excess shares that are released as a result of the loan
payment (see Note 5).  For the years ending December 31,
1994 and 1993, employer contributions were reduced by
approximately $22.8 million and $20.7 million, respectively.

Additional contributions may be required by Textron to fund
debt service payments on the senior note (see Note 6).  Such
contributions amounted to $7.7 million in 1994 and $6.4
million in 1993.

Administrative Expenses

All administrative expenses are paid from Plan assets.

3.  Unit Valuation

Plan equity is reported on a unit valuation basis except for
Fund A, which is reported on a per share basis.  Unit values
are determined by dividing the Plan equity in each fund by
the number of fund units outstanding.

At December 31, 1994, the number of units outstanding and
the values for each unit were:

                      Number of Units     Value per unit
Fund                                    
B                   22,676,686          2.972700685
C                   83,759,885          2.110998600
H                   39,095              1.662616703

4.  Benefits

In  the  event  a  participant ceases to be an  employee  or
becomes totally disabled while employed, all of his  or  her
accounts   to   the   extent  then   vested   shall   become
distributable.   Distributions  of  more  than  forty  whole
shares  of  Textron stock shall be in the  form  of  Textron
Common  Stock.  Distributions of forty or less whole  shares
of  Textron Common Stock shall be in the form of cash unless
the  participant  or beneficiary expressly requests  Textron
Common Stock.  All other distributions shall be in the  form
of cash.  An account will be distributed in a single payment
if  the  value of the account is less than $3,500  when  the
account  first becomes distributable.  If the value  of  the
account  is  $3,500 or more when the account  first  becomes
distributable,  a  participant is not  required  to  take  a
distribution  immediately.   However,  current  federal  law
requires Textron to begin to distribute accounts by April  1
of  the  year  following the year in which  the  participant
reaches age 70 1/2.  A participant is always vested in those
portions  of his or her account attributable to his  or  her
own contributions and compensation deferrals and to
<PAGE>10
4.  Benefits (continued)

discretionary  contributions  by  Textron.    Employees   of
discontinued operations become fully vested upon approval of
the  Administrative  and  Management  Committee.   The  Plan
provides for full vesting of a participant's plan account in
the  event  of  his or her termination of employment,  other
than  for cause, within two years after a change in  control
of Textron.  Textron's 50% matching contributions vest based
on the length of participation in the Plan as follows:

                                            Ownership
            Months of Participation         Interest
                                           
     24 months but less than 36 months     25%
     36 months but less than 48 months     50%
     48 months but less than 60 months     75%
     60 months or more                     100%

A separate account is maintained for each participant and is
increased monthly by (a) the participant's contributions and
compensation   deferrals,   (b)   Textron's   50%   matching
contribution,  and  annually  by  the  pro  rata  share   of
additional  discretionary contributions made by Textron,  if
any, and (c) the pro rata share of income.

While Textron has not expressed any intent to terminate  the
Plan,  it  is  free to do so at any time.  In the  event  of
termination,  each participant automatically becomes  vested
to the extent of the balance in his or her separate account.

5.  Unallocated Shares

During  1989, coincident with the conversion of the Plan  to
an  employee  stock ownership plan, the Plan purchased  from
Textron  Inc. 3,652,969 shares of Textron Common Stock  with
the proceeds of a $100 million bank loan (see Note 6).  Such
shares  of  Textron Common Stock are released for allocation
to  the accounts of participants as the loan is repaid.  The
Plan  makes  loan  repayments  with  dividends  received  on
unallocated   shares   and   certain   other   shares    and
contributions received from Textron.  Unallocated shares are
collateral  for  the loan.  The value of the Textron  Common
Stock allocated as matching contributions and dividends will
be  the  average fair market value for the period the shares
are allocated to the participants' accounts, even though the
shares may have been
<PAGE>11
5.  Unallocated Shares (continued)

purchased  earlier at a different value as part of  a  block
purchase made by the Trustee.  At December 31, 1994, Fund  A
includes  433,754 shares with a market value of  $21,850,353
and  a  cost  of $11,873,990 (954,485 shares with  a  market
value  of  $55,598,772 and a cost of $26,129,013 at December
31, 1993) that remain unallocated.

6.  Senior Note

The  Plan  has  a  senior note payable to  a  bank  that  is
guaranteed  by Textron which relates to a $100 million  term
loan  agreement  entered into during  1989.   The  agreement
provides for the note to be repaid over a seven-year  period
in  quarterly  installments beginning April  3,  1990.   The
maturity  date  of the note has been changed to  October  3,
1995  due  to  a  prepayment  of  principal  at  the  note's
inception.   The note bears interest at 85%  of  either  the
lower of the Eurodollar rate or a base rate.  Such rate  was
4.50% and 2.82% at December 31, 1994, and December 31, 1993,
respectively.  The note is prepayable in whole or in part on
any interest payment date without penalty.

A payment of $14,195,000 is required during 1995.

7.  Participant Loans

The  Textron  Capital  Accumulation  Plan  and  the  Textron
Capital    Accumulation    Plan   for    Hourly    Employees
(collectively,  "TCAP") were merged into the Plan  effective
May 1, 1989.  The TCAP, prior to their merger into the Plan,
allowed  participants to receive loans  from  their  pre-tax
contribution  accounts.  Because the Plan does  not  provide
for participant loans, no new loans were made to former TCAP
participants after April 30, 1989.  Existing loans  must  be
repaid   with   interest   to  the   participant's   pre-tax
contribution  account.   The  loan  repayments  and  related
interest  will be invested in the investment  funds  in  the
same  manner as the optional contributions to the  Plan  the
participant is then making.  If the participant is not  then
making  contributions to the Plan, the loan repayments  will
be invested in Fund C.

The  fair value of individual investments that represent  5%
or  more  of the fair value of the Plan's net assets  is  as

During  1994  and  1993,  the Plan's investments  (including
investments  bought,  sold,  and  held  during   the   year)
appreciated  (depreciated) in fair value  by  $(121,961,000)
and $225,598,000 as follows:

8.  Investments (continued)

Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards   No.   107,
"Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments" (FAS
107),  requires  disclosure of fair value information  about
all financial instruments held or owned by a plan except for
certain excluded instruments and instruments for which it is
not  practicable to estimate fair value.  Note  2  describes
the  methods  and assumptions used in determining  the  fair
value of all Plan investments except insurance contracts.

The  estimated  fair  value  of  the  Plan's  investment  in
guaranteed  insurance contracts was determined by discounted
cash  flow analyses using U.S. Treasury note interest  rates
with  maturities  similar  to the  remaining  terms  of  the
guaranteed insurance contracts.  The estimated fair value of
such   contracts   was   approximately   $143,000,000    and
$136,738,000 at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

as of that date.

10.  Income Tax Status

The  Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has ruled that the  Plan
qualifies under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue  Code
(the  Code)  and that the related trust is therefore  exempt
from  federal  income taxes under the provision  of  Section
501(a) of the Code.  In addition, the IRS has ruled that the
plan  qualifies  as an Employee Stock Ownership  Plan  under
Section 4975(e)(7) of the Code.  Once qualified, the Plan is
required  to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain
its  qualification.  Textron is not aware of any  course  of
action  or  series of events that have occurred  that  might
adversely affect the Plan's qualified status.
