Acquisitions, Dispositions, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets [Text Block] | Acquisitions, Dispositions, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Business Acquisitions and Dispositions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , our investment in business acquisitions was $177 million , and primarily consisted of an acquisition at Pratt & Whitney. On June 21, 2018, UTC Climate, Controls & Security completed its sale of Taylor Company for proceeds of $1.0 billion resulting in a pre-tax gain of $799 million ( $591 million after tax). On September 4, 2017 , we announced that we had entered into a merger agreement with Rockwell Collins, Inc. (Rockwell Collins) , under which we agreed to acquire Rockwell Collins. Under the terms of the merger agreement, each Rockwell Collins shareowner will receive $93.33 per share in cash and a fraction of a share of UTC common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing $46.67 by the average of the volume-weighted average prices per share of UTC common stock on the NYSE on each of the 20 consecutive trading days ending with the trading day immediately prior to the closing date, (the “UTC Stock Price”), subject to adjustment based on a two-way collar mechanism as described below (the “Stock Consideration”). The cash and UTC stock payable in exchange for each such share of Rockwell Collins common stock are collectively the “Merger Consideration.” The fraction of a share of UTC common stock into which each such share of Rockwell Collins common stock will be converted is the “Exchange Ratio.” The Exchange Ratio will be determined based upon the UTC Stock Price. If the UTC Stock Price is greater than $107.01 but less than $124.37, the Exchange Ratio will be equal to the quotient of (i) $46.67 divided by (ii) the UTC Stock Price, which, in each case, will result in the Stock Consideration having a value equal to $46.67. If the UTC Stock Price is less than or equal to $107.01 or greater than or equal to $124.37, then a two-way collar mechanism will apply, pursuant to which, (x) if the UTC Stock Price is greater than or equal to $124.37, the Exchange Ratio will be fixed at 0.37525 and the value of the Stock Consideration will be greater than $46.67, and (y) if the UTC Stock Price is less than or equal to $107.01, the Exchange Ratio will be fixed at 0.43613 and the value of the Stock Consideration will be less than $46.67. On January 11, 2018, the merger was approved by Rockwell Collins' shareowners. We currently expect that the merger will be completed in the fourth quarter of 2018, subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of required regulatory approvals. We anticipate that approximately $15 billion will be required to pay the aggregate cash portion of the Merger Consideration which will be funded by cash on hand. On August 16, 2018 we issued $11 billion of aggregate principal notes (refer to Note 5) for net proceeds of $10.9 billion of which $9.2 billion is specifically designated to fund the cash portion of the Merger Consideration and related fees, expenses and other amounts. Therefore, $9.2 billion of the net proceeds from the issuance have been classified as restricted cash as of September 30, 2018. In connection with the merger agreement with Rockwell Collins announced on September 4, 2017, we entered into a $6.5 billion 364-day unsecured bridge loan credit agreement that would have been funded only to the extent certain anticipated debt issuances were not completed prior to the completion of the merger. The unsecured bridge loan credit agreement was terminated on August 16, 2018 upon issuance of the $11 billion of aggregate principal notes described above. We expect to assume approximately $7 billion of Rockwell Collins' outstanding debt upon completion of the merger. As has been previously disclosed, the Company is continuing a strategic review of its portfolio of businesses. There can be no assurance as to the outcome of any such process or that any such process will result in a transaction, or if a transaction is undertaken, as to its terms or timing. Goodwill. Changes in our goodwill balances for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 were as follows: (dollars in millions) Balance as of Goodwill Resulting from Business Combinations Foreign Currency Translation and Other Balance as of Otis $ 1,737 $ 6 $ (42 ) $ 1,701 UTC Climate, Controls & Security 10,009 1 (237 ) 9,773 Pratt & Whitney 1,511 58 (2 ) 1,567 UTC Aerospace Systems 14,650 — (35 ) 14,615 Total Segments 27,907 65 (316 ) 27,656 Eliminations and other 3 20 — 23 Total $ 27,910 $ 85 $ (316 ) $ 27,679 The $316 million net reduction in goodwill within Foreign Currency Translation and Other includes a $151 million reduction of goodwill attributable to UTC Climate, Controls & Security's sale of Taylor Company. The $20 million increase in goodwill within Eliminations and other is due to an acquisition of a digital analytics company. Intangible Assets. Identifiable intangible assets are comprised of the following: September 30, 2018 December 31, 2017 (dollars in millions) Gross Amount Accumulated Amortization Gross Amount Accumulated Amortization Amortized: Service portfolios $ 2,181 $ (1,604 ) $ 2,178 $ (1,534 ) Patents and trademarks 362 (232 ) 399 (233 ) Collaboration intangible assets 4,413 (573 ) 4,109 (384 ) Customer relationships and other 13,493 (4,413 ) 13,352 (4,100 ) 20,449 (6,822 ) 20,038 (6,251 ) Unamortized: Trademarks and other 2,074 — 2,096 — Total $ 22,523 $ (6,822 ) $ 22,134 $ (6,251 ) Customer relationship intangible assets include payments made to our customers to secure certain contractual rights. Such payments are capitalized when distinct rights are obtained and sufficient incremental cash flows to support the recoverability of the assets have been established. Otherwise, the applicable portion of the payments is expensed. We amortize these intangible assets based on the underlying pattern of economic benefit, which may result in an amortization method other than straight-line. In the aerospace industry, amortization based on the pattern of economic benefit generally results in lower amortization expense during the development period with amortization expense increasing as programs enter full production and aftermarket cycles. If a pattern of economic benefit cannot be reliably determined, a straight-line amortization method is used. We classify amortization of such payments as a reduction of sales. The collaboration intangible assets are amortized based upon the pattern of economic benefits as represented by the underlying cash flows. Amortization of intangible assets for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $225 million and $680 million , respectively, compared with $211 million and $626 million for the same periods of 2017 . The following is the expected amortization of intangible assets for the years 2018 through 2023 , which reflects the pattern of expected economic benefit on certain aerospace intangible assets. (dollars in millions) Remaining 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 Amortization expense $ 222 $ 877 $ 875 $ 904 $ 924 $ 920 |

Revenue Recognition [Abstract] | |
Revenue Recognition [Text Block] | Revenue Recognition ASU 2014-09 and its related amendments (collectively, the New Revenue Standard) are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein. We adopted the New Revenue Standard effective January 1, 2018 and elected the modified retrospective approach. The results for periods before 2018 were not adjusted for the new standard and the cumulative effect of the change in accounting was recognized through retained earnings at the date of adoption. Revenue Recognition Accounting Policy Summary. We account for revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606: Revenue from Contracts with Customers . Under Topic 606, a performance obligation is a promise in a contract with a customer to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. Some of our contracts with customers contain a single performance obligation, while others contain multiple performance obligations most commonly when a contract spans multiple phases of the product life-cycle such as development, production, maintenance and support. A contract's transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. When there are multiple performance obligations within a contract, we allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation based on its standalone selling price. We consider the contractual consideration payable by the customer and assess variable consideration that may affect the total transaction price, including contractual discounts, contract incentive payments, estimates of award fees, unfunded contract value under U.S. Government contracts, and other sources of variable consideration, when determining the transaction price of each contract. We include variable consideration in the estimated transaction price when there is a basis to reasonably estimate the amount. These estimates are based on historical experience, anticipated performance and our best judgment at the time. We also consider whether our contracts provide customers with significant financing. Generally, our contracts do not contain significant financing. Point in time revenue recognition. Timing of the satisfaction of performance obligations varies across our businesses due to our diverse product and service mix, customer base, and contractual terms. Performance obligations are satisfied as of a point in time for heating, ventilating, air-conditioning and refrigeration systems, certain alarm and fire detection and suppression systems, and certain aerospace components, engines, and spare parts. Revenue is recognized when control of the product transfers to the customer, generally upon product shipment. Over-time revenue recognition. Performance obligations are satisfied over-time if the customer receives the benefits as we perform work, if the customer controls the asset as it is being produced, or if the product being produced for the customer has no alternative use and we have a contractual right to payment. Revenue is recognized for our construction-type and certain production-type contracts on an over-time basis. We recognize revenue on an over-time basis on certain long-term aerospace aftermarket contracts and aftermarket service work; development, fixed price, and other cost reimbursement contracts in our aerospace businesses; and elevator and escalator sales, installation, service, modernization and other construction contracts in our commercial businesses. For construction and installation contracts within our commercial businesses and aerospace performance obligations satisfied over time, revenue is recognized using costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs at completion to measure progress. Incurred costs represent work performed, which correspond with and best depict transfer of control to the customer. Contract costs include labor, materials, and subcontractors' costs, or other direct costs, and where applicable on government and commercial contracts, indirect costs. For certain of our long-term aftermarket contracts, revenue is recognized over the contract period. In the commercial businesses, revenue is primarily recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract period. In the aerospace businesses, we generally account for such contracts as a series of daily obligations to stand ready to provide product maintenance and aftermarket services. Revenue is primarily recognized in proportion to cost as sufficient historical evidence indicates that the cost of performing services under the contract is incurred on an other than straight-line basis. Aerospace contract modifications are routine and contracts are often modified to account for changes in contract specifications or requirements. Contract modifications that are for goods or services that are not distinct are accounted for as part of the existing contract. We incur costs for engineering and development of aerospace products directly related to existing or anticipated contracts with customers. Such costs generate or enhance our ability to satisfy our performance obligations under these contracts. We capitalize these costs as contract fulfillment costs to the extent the costs are recoverable from the associated contract margin and subsequently amortize the costs as the original equipment (OEM) products are delivered to the customer. In instances where intellectual property does not transfer to the customer, we defer the customer funding of OEM product engineering and development and recognize revenue when the OEM products are delivered to the customer. Costs to obtain contracts are not material. Loss provisions on OEM contracts are recognized to the extent that estimated contract costs exceed the estimated consideration from the products contemplated under the contractual arrangement. For new commitments, we generally record loss provisions at the earlier of contract announcement or contract signing except for certain contracts under which losses are recorded upon receipt of the purchase order that obligates us to perform. For existing commitments, anticipated losses on contractual arrangements are recognized in the period in which losses become evident. Products contemplated under contractual arrangements include firm quantities of product sold under contract and, in the commercial engine and wheels and brakes businesses, future highly probable sales of replacement parts required by regulation that are expected to be sold subsequently for incorporation into the original equipment. In the commercial engine and wheels and brakes businesses, when the combined original equipment and aftermarket arrangement for each individual sales campaign are profitable, we record original equipment product losses, as applicable, at the time of delivery. We review our cost estimates on significant contracts on a quarterly basis and for others, no less frequently than annually or when circumstances change and warrant a modification to a previous estimate. We record changes in contract estimates using the cumulative catch-up method. The New Revenue Standard changed the revenue recognition practices for a number of revenue streams across our businesses, although the most significant impacts are concentrated in our aerospace units. Several of our businesses which previously accounted for revenue on a point in time basis are now required to use an over-time revenue recognition model when their contracts meet one or more of the mandatory criteria established in the New Revenue Standard. Revenue is now recognized on an over-time basis using an input method for repair contracts within Otis and UTC Climate, Controls & Security; certain U.S. Government and commercial aerospace equipment contracts; and aerospace aftermarket service work. We measure progress toward completion for these contracts using costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs at completion. Incurred costs represent work performed, which corresponds with and best depicts the transfer of control to the customer. For these businesses, unrecognized sales related to the satisfied portion of the performance obligations of contracts in process as of the date of adoption of the New Revenue Standard of approximately $220 million were recorded through retained earnings. The ongoing effect on our reported revenues of recognizing revenue on an over-time basis within these businesses is not expected to be materially different than the previous revenue recognition method. In addition to the foregoing, our aerospace businesses, in certain cases, also changed the timing of manufacturing cost recognition and certain engineering and development costs. In most circumstances, our commercial aerospace businesses identify the performance obligation as the individual OEM unit; revenue and cost to manufacture each unit are recognized upon OEM unit delivery. Under the prior accounting, the unit of accounting was the contract and early-contract OEM unit costs in excess of the average unit costs expected over the contract were capitalized and amortized over lower-cost units later in the contract. With the adoption of the New Revenue Standard, deferred unit costs in excess of the contract average of $438 million as of January 1, 2018 were eliminated through retained earnings, and as such, will not be amortized into future earnings. Under the New Revenue Standard, costs incurred for engineering and development of aerospace products under contracts with customers must be capitalized as contract fulfillment costs, to the extent recoverable from the associated contract margin, and subsequently amortized as the OEM products are delivered to the customer. Under prior accounting, we generally expensed costs of engineering and development of aerospace products. The new standard also requires that customer funding of OEM product engineering and development be deferred in instances where intellectual property does not transfer to the customer and recognized as revenue when the OEM products are delivered. Engineering and development costs which do not qualify for capitalization as contract fulfillment costs are expensed as incurred. Prior to the New Revenue Standard, any customer funding received for such development efforts was recognized when earned, with the corresponding costs recognized as cost of sales. With the adoption of the New Revenue Standard, we capitalized engineering and development costs of approximately $700 million as contract fulfillment cost assets through retained earnings as of January 1, 2018. We also established previously recognized customer funding of approximately $850 million as a contract liability through retained earnings as of the adoption date. We expect the New Revenue Standard will have an immaterial impact on our 2018 net income. Adoption of the New Revenue Standard has resulted in Statement of Operations classification changes between Net Sales, Cost of sales, Research & development, and Other income. The New Revenue Standard also resulted in the establishment of Contract asset and Contract liability balance sheet accounts, and in the reclassification of balances to these new accounts from Accounts receivable, Inventories and contracts in progress, net, and Accrued liabilities. In addition to the following disclosures, Note 16 provides incremental disclosures required by the New Revenue Standard, including disaggregation of revenue into categories that depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The following schedules quantify the impact of the New Revenue Standard on the statement of operations for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 . The effect of the new standard represents the increase (decrease) in the line item based on the adoption of the New Revenue Standard. (dollars in millions) Quarter Ended September 30, 2018, under previous standard Effect of the New Revenue Standard Quarter Ended September 30, 2018 as reported Net Sales: Product sales $ 11,228 $ 26 $ 11,254 Service sales 5,233 23 5,256 16,461 49 16,510 Costs and Expenses: Cost of products sold 9,389 (47 ) 9,342 Cost of services sold 3,172 22 3,194 Research and development 614 (28 ) 586 Selling, general and administrative 1,681 — 1,681 14,856 (53 ) 14,803 Other income, net 132 (1 ) 131 Operating profit 1,737 101 1,838 Non-service pension (benefit) (188 ) — (188 ) Interest expense, net 258 — 258 Income from operations before income taxes 1,667 101 1,768 Income tax expense 394 25 419 Net income from operations 1,273 76 1,349 Less: Noncontrolling interest in subsidiaries' earnings from operations 113 (2 ) 111 Net income attributable to common shareowners $ 1,160 $ 78 $ 1,238 (dollars in millions) Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018, under previous standard Effect of the New Revenue Standard Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 as reported Net Sales: Product sales $ 32,801 $ 231 $ 33,032 Service sales 15,201 224 15,425 48,002 455 48,457 Costs and Expenses: Cost of products sold 26,250 262 26,512 Cost of services sold 9,568 158 9,726 Research and development 1,794 (65 ) 1,729 Selling, general and administrative 5,151 — 5,151 42,763 355 43,118 Other income, net 1,307 (4 ) 1,303 Operating profit 6,546 96 6,642 Non-service pension (benefit) (571 ) — (571 ) Interest expense, net 721 — 721 Income from operations before income taxes 6,396 96 6,492 Income tax expense 1,612 24 1,636 Net income from operations 4,784 72 4,856 Less: Noncontrolling interest in subsidiaries' earnings from operations 269 4 273 Net income attributable to common shareowners $ 4,515 $ 68 $ 4,583 The New Revenue Standard resulted in an increase to Product and Service sales and Cost of products and services sold primarily due to the change to an over-time basis using an input method revenue model for certain U.S Government and commercial aerospace equipment contracts, and aerospace aftermarket service work at Pratt & Whitney and UTC Aerospace Systems. The New Revenue Standard also resulted in an increase in Cost of products sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 related to the timing of manufacturing cost recognition. During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, Cost of products sold were lower under the New Revenue Standard due to a change in the contract average unit costs during the quarter. The lower amounts of research and development expense recognized under the New Revenue Standard reflect the capitalization of costs of engineering and development of aerospace products as contract fulfillment costs under contracts with customers. The following schedule quantifies the impact of the New Revenue Standard on our balance sheet as of September 30, 2018 . (dollars in millions) September 30, 2018 under previous standard Effect of the New Revenue Standard September 30, 2018 as reported Assets Accounts receivable, net $ 13,988 $ (1,438 ) $ 12,550 Contract assets, current — 3,450 3,450 Inventories 11,337 (2,269 ) 9,068 Other assets, current 1,305 32 1,337 Future income tax benefits 1,669 32 1,701 Intangible assets, net 15,771 (70 ) 15,701 Other assets 5,987 1,083 7,070 Liabilities and Equity Accrued liabilities $ 14,153 $ (5,286 ) $ 8,867 Contract liabilities, current — 5,460 5,460 Other long term liabilities 12,357 1,016 13,373 Noncontrolling interest 2,138 6 2,144 Retained earnings 58,118 (412 ) 57,706 The decrease in Retained earnings of $412 million in the table above reflects $480 million of adjustments to the balance sheet as of January 1, 2018, resulting from the adoption of the New Revenue Standard partially offset by $68 million higher reported net income under the New Revenue Standard during 2018. The declines in Accounts receivable, net, Inventories, Other assets, current, and Intangible assets, net, reflect reclassifications to contract assets, and specifically for Inventories, earlier recognition of costs of products sold for contracts requiring an over-time method of revenue recognition. The increase in Other assets reflects the establishment of non-current contract assets and contract fulfillment cost assets. The decline in accrued liabilities is primarily due to the reclassification of payments from customers in advance of work performed as contract liabilities. The Other long term liabilities increase primarily reflects the establishment of non-current contract liabilities for certain customer funding of OEM product engineering and development, which will be recognized as revenue when the OEM products are delivered to the customer. Contract Assets and Liabilities. Contract assets reflect revenue recognized and performance obligations satisfied in advance of customer billing. Contract liabilities relate to payments received in advance of the satisfaction of performance under the contract. We receive payments from customers based on the terms established in our contracts. Total contract assets and contract liabilities as of September 30, 2018 are as follows: (dollars in millions) September 30, 2018 Contract assets, current $ 3,450 Contract assets, noncurrent (included within Other assets) 1,075 Total contract assets 4,525 Contract liabilities, current (5,460 ) Contract liabilities, noncurrent (included within Other long-term liabilities) (5,044 ) Total contract liabilities (10,504 ) Net contract liabilities $ (5,979 ) Under the New Revenue Standard, during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , net contract liabilities increased to $5,979 million . This reflects the establishment of $6,365 million of net contract liabilities upon the adoption, and $21,093 million of advance payments from customers and reclassifications of contract assets to receivables upon billing during the period. These increases were partially offset by the liquidation of beginning of period contract liabilities of $1,978 million as a result of revenue recognition, and by $19,499 million of revenue recognition within the period. The remaining change is primarily attributable to the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes on the balance of contract assets and liabilities offset by net contract liabilities acquired through business combinations. Remaining performance obligations ("RPO") are the aggregate amount of total contract transaction price that is unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied. As of September 30, 2018 , our total RPO is $106.8 billion . Of this total, we expect approximately 42% will be recognized as sales over the following 24 months. |

In addition, the computation of diluted earnings per share excludes the effect of the potential exercise of stock awards when the awards’ assumed proceeds exceed the average market price of the common shares during the period. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , the number of stock awards excluded from the computation was approximately 5.0 million and 5.2 million , respectively. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017 , the number of stock awards excluded from the computation was approximately 5.8 million and 6.4 million , respectively. |

Upon adoption of the New Revenue Standard, these costs are recorded as contract fulfillment costs included in Other assets. Prior to the adoption of the New Revenue Standard, within our commercial aerospace business, inventory costs attributable to new engine offerings were recognized based on the average cost per unit expected over the life of each contract using the units-of-delivery method of percentage of completion accounting. Under this method, costs of initial engine deliveries in excess of the projected contract per unit average cost were capitalized and these capitalized amounts were subsequently expensed as additional engines were delivered for engines with costs below the projected contract per unit average cost over the life of the contract. As of December 31, 2017 , inventory included $438 million of such capitalized amounts. Upon adoption of the New Revenue Standard, these amounts are no longer included in inventory. In addition, amounts previously reported as Contracts in progress have been reclassified as contract assets in accordance with the New Revenue Standard. |

As of September 30, 2018 , there were no borrowings under either of these agreements. The undrawn portions of these revolving credit agreements are also available to serve as backup facilities for the issuance of commercial paper. As of September 30, 2018 , our maximum commercial paper borrowing limit was $4.35 billion . Commercial paper borrowings at September 30, 2018 include approximately €750 million ( $881 million ) of euro-denominated commercial paper. We use our commercial paper borrowings for general corporate purposes, including the funding of potential acquisitions, pension contributions, debt refinancing, dividend payments and repurchases of our common stock. The need for commercial paper borrowings arises when the use of domestic cash for general corporate purposes exceeds the sum of domestic cash generation and foreign cash repatriated to the U.S. On August 16, 2018, we issued $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 3.350% notes due 2021 , $2.25 billion aggregate principal amount of 3.650% notes due 2023 , $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of 3.950% notes due 2025 , $3.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 4.125% notes due 2028 , $750 million aggregate principal amount of 4.450% notes due 2038 , $1.75 billion aggregate principal amount of 4.625% notes due 2048 , and $750 million aggregate principal amount of floating rate notes due 2021 . The net proceeds received from the issuance of the notes due 2021, notes due 2023, notes due 2025, notes due 2028, notes due 2038 and the floating rate notes due 2021 are specifically designated to finance payment obligations with respect to the cash consideration and related fees, expenses and other amounts in connection with the acquisition of Rockwell Collins. If either the acquisition of Rockwell Collins does not occur on or before July 15, 2019 or we notify the trustee that we will not pursue the acquisition of Rockwell Collins, we will be required to redeem the mandatorily redeemable notes then outstanding at a redemption price equal to 101% of the principal amount of such notes plus accrued and unpaid interest (the special mandatory redemption). We expect to use the proceeds of the notes due 2048 for general corporate purposes which may include the repayment of debt, including outstanding commercial paper. The notes due 2048 are not subject to the special mandatory redemption. On May 18, 2018 , we issued €750 million aggregate principal amount of 1.150% notes due 2024 , €500 million aggregate principal amount of 2.150% notes maturing 2030 and €750 million aggregate principal amount of floating rate notes maturing 2020 . The net proceeds received from these debt issuances were used for general corporate purposes. On May 4, 2018 , we repaid at maturity approximately $1.1 billion aggregate principal amount of 1.778% junior subordinated notes. On February 1, 2018 , we repaid at maturity the $99 million 6.80% notes and on February 22, 2018 , we repaid at maturity the €750 million EURIBOR plus 0.80% floating rate notes. In connection with the merger agreement with Rockwell Collins announced on September 4, 2017, we entered into a $6.5 billion 364-day unsecured bridge loan credit agreement that would have been funded only to the extent certain anticipated debt issuances were not completed prior to the completion of the merger. This unsecured bridge loan credit agreement was terminated on August 16, 2018 upon issuance of the $11 billion of aggregate principal notes described above. See Note 1 for additional discussion. Long-term debt consisted of the following: (dollars in millions) September 30, 2018 December 31, 2017 6.800% notes due 2018 $ — $ 99 EURIBOR plus 0.800% floating rate notes due 2018 (€750 million principal value) 2 — 890 1.778% junior subordinated notes due 2018 — 1,100 LIBOR plus 0.350% floating rate notes due 2019 3 350 350 1.500% notes due 2019 1 650 650 EURIBOR plus 0.15% floating rate notes due 2019 (€750 million principal value) 2 881 890 8.875% notes due 2019 271 271 4.875% notes due 2020 1 171 171 4.500% notes due 2020 1 1,250 1,250 1.900% notes due 2020 1 1,000 1,000 EURIBOR plus 0.20% floating rate notes due 2020 (€750 million principal value) 2 881 — 8.750% notes due 2021 250 250 3.350% notes due 2021 1 1,000 — LIBOR plus 0.650% floating rate notes due 2021 1,3 750 — 1.950% notes due 2021 1 750 750 1.125% notes due 2021 (€950 million principal value) 1 1,117 1,127 2.300% notes due 2022 1 500 500 3.100% notes due 2022 1 2,300 2,300 1.250% notes due 2023 (€750 million principal value) 1 881 890 3.650% notes due 2023 1 2,250 — 2.800% notes due 2024 1 800 800 1.150% notes due 2024 (€750 million principal value) 1 881 — 3.950% notes due 2025 1 1,500 — 1.875% notes due 2026 (€500 million principal value) 1 588 593 2.650% notes due 2026 1 1,150 1,150 3.125% notes due 2027 1 1,100 1,100 7.100% notes due 2027 141 141 6.700% notes due 2028 400 400 4.125% notes due 2028 1 3,000 — 7.500% notes due 2029 1 550 550 2.150% notes due 2030 (€500 million principal value) 1 588 — 5.400% notes due 2035 1 600 600 6.050% notes due 2036 1 600 600 6.800% notes due 2036 1 134 134 7.000% notes due 2038 159 159 6.125% notes due 2038 1 1,000 1,000 4.450% notes due 2038 1 750 — 5.700% notes due 2040 1 1,000 1,000 4.500% notes due 2042 1 3,500 3,500 4.150% notes due 2045 1 850 850 3.750% notes due 2046 1 1,100 1,100 4.050% notes due 2047 1 600 600 4.625% notes due 2048 1 1,750 — Project financing obligations 250 158 Other (including capitalized leases) 230 195 Total principal long-term debt 38,473 27,118 Other (fair market value adjustments and discounts) (106 ) (25 ) Total long-term debt 38,367 27,093 Less: current portion 92 2,104 Long-term debt, net of current portion $ 38,275 $ 24,989 1 We may redeem these notes at our option pursuant to their terms. 2 The three-month EURIBOR rate as of September 30, 2018 was approximately -0.318%.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block] | Income Taxes On December 22, 2017, Public Law 115-97 “An Act to Provide for Reconciliation Pursuant to Titles II and V of the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2018” was enacted. This law is commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA). In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 (SAB 118) issued on December 22, 2017, the U.S. income tax amounts recorded attributable to the TCJA’s deemed repatriation provision, the revaluation of U.S. deferred taxes and the tax consequences relating to states with current conformity to the Internal Revenue Code are provisional amounts. Due to the enactment date and tax complexities of the TCJA, the Company has not completed its accounting related to these items. Prior to enactment of the TCJA, with few exceptions, U.S. income taxes had not been provided on undistributed earnings of UTC's international subsidiaries as the Company had intended to reinvest such earnings permanently outside the U.S. or to repatriate such earnings only when it was tax effective to do so. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the TCJA on its existing accounting position related to the undistributed earnings. Due to the inherent complexities in determining any incremental U.S. Federal and State taxes and the non-U.S. taxes that may be due if all of these earnings were remitted to the U.S. and as provided for by SAB 118 this evaluation has not yet been completed and no provisional amount has been recorded in regard to the undistributed amounts. After completing its evaluation, the Company will accrue any additional taxes due on previously undistributed earnings to be distributed in the future. The Company will continue to accumulate and refine the relevant data and computational elements needed to finalize its accounting for the effects of the TCJA by December 22, 2018. We conduct business globally and, as a result, UTC or one or more of our subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business we are subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including such major jurisdictions as Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Poland, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations for years before 2006. In the ordinary course of business, there is inherent uncertainty in quantifying our income tax positions. We assess our income tax positions and record tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon management’s evaluation of the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date. It is reasonably possible that a net reduction within the range of $ 40 million to $ 610 million of unrecognized tax benefits may occur within the next 12 months as a result of additional worldwide uncertain tax positions, the closure of tax statutes, or the revaluation of current uncertain tax positions arising from the issuance of legislation, regulatory or other guidance or developments in examinations, in appeals, or in the courts. The range of potential change includes provisional amounts related to the TCJA based on currently available information. See Note 15, Contingent Liabilities, for discussion regarding uncertain tax positions, included in the above range, related to pending litigation with respect to certain deductions claimed in Germany. The Examination Division of the Internal Revenue Service is currently auditing UTC tax years 2014, 2015 and 2016, and the audit is expected to conclude within the next 12 months. |

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits Disclosure [Text Block] | Employee Benefit Plans Pension and Postretirement Plans. We sponsor both funded and unfunded domestic and foreign defined pension and other postretirement benefit plans, and defined contribution plans. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715), Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost . This ASU requires an employer to report the service cost component of net periodic pension benefit cost in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period, with other cost components presented separately from the service cost component and outside of income from operations. This ASU also allows only the service cost component of net periodic pension benefit cost to be eligible for capitalization when applicable. This ASU was effective for years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2018 applying the presentation requirements retrospectively. We elected to apply the practical expedient, which allows us to reclassify amounts disclosed previously in the employee benefit plans note as the basis for applying retrospective presentation for comparative periods as it is impracticable to determine the disaggregation of the cost components for amounts capitalized and amortized in those periods. Provisions related to presentation of the service cost component eligibility for capitalization were applied prospectively. The effect of the retrospective presentation change related to the net periodic benefit cost of our defined benefit pension and postretirement plans on our condensed consolidated statement of operations was as follows: Quarter Ended September 30, 2017 (dollars in millions) Previously Reported Effect of Change Higher/(Lower) As Revised Cost of product sold $ 7,750 $ 50 $ 7,800 Cost of services sold 3,293 13 3,306 Research and development 582 10 592 Selling, general and administrative 1,524 58 1,582 Non-service pension (benefit) — (131 ) (131 ) Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 (dollars in millions) Previously Reported Effect of Change Higher/(Lower) As Revised Cost of product sold $ 22,920 $ 148 $ 23,068 Cost of services sold 9,300 38 9,338 Research and development 1,768 29 1,797 Selling, general and administrative 4,544 165 4,709 Non-service pension (benefit) — (380 ) (380 ) Contributions to our plans were as follows: Quarter Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, (dollars in millions) 2018 2017 2018 2017 Defined benefit plans $ 13 $ 1,929 $ 72 $ 2,008 Defined contribution plans 97 86 296 262 There were no contributions to our domestic defined benefit pension plans in the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 .

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivative Financial Instruments [Text Block] | Financial Instruments We enter into derivative instruments primarily for risk management purposes, including derivatives designated as hedging instruments under the Derivatives and Hedging Topic of the FASB ASC and those utilized as economic hedges. We operate internationally and, in the normal course of business, are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity prices. These fluctuations can increase the costs of financing, investing and operating the business. We have used derivative instruments, including swaps, forward contracts and options, to manage certain foreign currency, interest rate and commodity price exposures. The four quarter rolling average of the notional amount of foreign exchange contracts hedging foreign currency transactions was $20.0 billion and $19.1 billion at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , respectively. The following table summarizes the fair value and presentation in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for derivative instruments as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 : (dollars in millions) Balance Sheet Location September 30, 2018 December 31, 2017 Derivatives designated as hedging instruments: Foreign exchange contracts Asset Derivatives: Other assets, current $ 36 $ 77 Other assets 46 101 Total asset derivatives $ 82 $ 178 Liability Derivatives: Accrued liabilities (25 ) (10 ) Other long-term liabilities (35 ) (8 ) Total liability derivatives $ (60 ) $ (18 ) Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments: Foreign exchange contracts Asset Derivatives: Other assets, current 48 70 Other assets 20 5 Total asset derivatives $ 68 $ 75 Liability Derivatives: Accrued liabilities (55 ) (57 ) Other long-term liabilities (3 ) (3 ) Total liability derivatives $ (58 ) $ (60 ) The effect of cash flow hedging relationships on accumulated other comprehensive income for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 are presented in the table below. The amounts of gain or (loss) are attributable to foreign exchange contract activity and are recorded as a component of Product sales when reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income. Quarter Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, (dollars in millions) 2018 2017 2018 2017 Gain (loss) recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss $ 95 $ 310 $ (105 ) $ 440 Loss (gain) reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive loss into Product sales 2 (24 ) (26 ) (14 ) The table above reflects the effect of cash flow hedging relationships on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 . The Company utilizes the critical terms match method in assessing derivatives for hedge effectiveness. Accordingly, the hedged items and derivatives designated as hedging instruments are highly effective. We have approximately €4.95 billion of euro-denominated long-term debt and €750 million of euro-denominated commercial paper borrowings outstanding, which qualify as a net investment hedge against our investments in European businesses . As of September 30, 2018, the net investment hedge is deemed to be effective. Assuming current market conditions continue, a $10 million pre-tax gain is expected to be reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive loss into Product sales to reflect the fixed prices obtained from foreign exchange hedging within the next 12 months. At September 30, 2018 , all derivative contracts accounted for as cash flow hedges will mature by October 2022 . The effect of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments within Other income, net, on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations was as follows: Quarter Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, (dollars in millions) 2018 2017 2018 2017 Foreign exchange contracts $ 16 $ 10 $ 86 $ 50 |

Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block] | Fair Value Measurements In accordance with the provisions of ASC 820, the following tables provide the valuation hierarchy classification of assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value and measured on a recurring and nonrecurring basis in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 : September 30, 2018 (dollars in millions) Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Recurring fair value measurements: Available-for-sale securities $ 42 $ 42 $ — $ — Derivative assets 150 — 150 — Derivative liabilities (118 ) — (118 ) — December 31, 2017 (dollars in millions) Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Recurring fair value measurements: Available-for-sale securities $ 64 $ 64 $ — $ — Derivative assets 253 — 253 — Derivative liabilities (78 ) — (78 ) — Valuation Techniques. Our available-for-sale securities include equity investments that are traded in active markets, either domestically or internationally, and are measured at fair value using closing stock prices from active markets. Our derivative assets and liabilities include foreign exchange contracts that are measured at fair value using internal models based on observable market inputs such as forward rates, interest rates, our own credit risk and our counterparties' credit risks. As of September 30, 2018 , there were no significant transfers in or out of Level 1 and Level 2. As of September 30, 2018 , there has not been any significant impact to the fair value of our derivative liabilities due to our own credit risk. Similarly, there has not been any significant adverse impact to our derivative assets based on our evaluation of our counterparties' credit risks. The following table provides carrying amounts and fair values of financial instruments that are not carried at fair value in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 : September 30, 2018 December 31, 2017 (dollars in millions) Carrying Amount Fair Value Carrying Amount Fair Value Long-term receivables $ 128 $ 125 $ 127 $ 121 Customer financing notes receivable 458 433 609 596 Short-term borrowings (1,576 ) (1,576 ) (392 ) (392 ) Long-term debt (excluding capitalized leases) (38,344 ) (38,803 ) (27,067 ) (29,180 ) Long-term liabilities (295 ) (263 ) (362 ) (330 ) The following table provides the valuation hierarchy classification of assets and liabilities that are not carried at fair value in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 : September 30, 2018 (dollars in millions) Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Long-term receivables $ 125 $ — $ 125 $ — Customer financing notes receivable 433 — 433 — Short-term borrowings (1,576 ) — (1,380 ) (196 ) Long-term debt (excluding capitalized leases) (38,803 ) — (38,465 ) (338 ) Long-term liabilities (263 ) — (263 ) — December 31, 2017 (dollars in millions) Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Long-term receivables $ 121 $ — $ 121 $ — Customer financing notes receivable 596 — 596 — Short-term borrowings (392 ) — (300 ) (92 ) Long-term debt (excluding capitalized leases) (29,180 ) — (28,970 ) (210 ) Long-term liabilities (330 ) — (330 ) — We had commercial aerospace financing and other contractual commitments totaling approximately $15.1 billion and $15.3 billion as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , respectively, related to commercial aircraft and certain contractual rights to provide product on new aircraft platforms. Associated risks on these commitments from changes in interest rates are mitigated because interest rates are variable during the commitment term and are set at the date of funding based on current market conditions, the fair value of the underlying collateral and the credit worthiness of the customers. As a result, the fair value of these financings is expected to equal the amounts funded. |

Receivables [Abstract] | |
Long-Term Financing Receivables [Text Block] | Long-Term Financing Receivables Our long-term financing receivables primarily represent balances related to our aerospace businesses, such as long-term trade accounts receivable, notes receivable, and leases receivable. We also have other long-term receivables related to our commercial businesses; however, both the individual and aggregate amounts of those other receivables are not significant. Prior to the adoption of the New Revenue Standard, long-term trade accounts receivable, including unbilled receivables related to long-term aftermarket contracts, were principally amounts arising from the sale of goods and the delivery of services with a contract maturity date or realization period of greater than one year and were recognized as "Other assets" in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. With the adoption of the New Revenue Standard, these unbilled receivables are classified as non-current contract assets and are recognized as "Other assets" in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Notes and leases receivable represent notes and lease receivables other than receivables related to operating leases, and are recognized as "Customer financing assets" in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The following table summarizes the balance by class of aerospace business related long-term receivables as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 . (dollars in millions) September 30, 2018 December 31, 2017 Long-term trade accounts receivable $ 64 $ 973 Notes and leases receivable 430 424 Total long-term receivables $ 494 $ 1,397 Customer credit ratings range from customers with an extremely strong capacity to meet financial obligations to customers whose uncollateralized receivables are in default. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from estimates or that consideration of these factors in the future will not result in an increase or decrease to the allowance for credit losses on long-term receivables. The decrease in Long-term trade accounts receivable from December 31, 2017 is primarily driven by the reclassification of unbilled receivables related to long-term aftermarket contracts to contract assets in accordance with the New Revenue Standard as described above. Based upon the customer credit ratings, approximately $140 million and $170 million of our total long-term receivables were considered to bear high credit risk as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , respectively. For long-term trade accounts receivable, we evaluate credit risk and collectability individually to determine if an allowance is necessary. Our long-term receivables reflected in the table above, which include reserves of $18 million and $17 million as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , are individually evaluated for impairment. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , we did not have any significant balances that are considered to be delinquent, on non-accrual status, past due 90 days or more, or are considered to be unrecoverable. |

This ASU modifies how entities measure equity investments and present changes in the fair value of financial liabilities. Upon adoption, investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method generally must be carried at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in net income. We had approximately $5 million of unrealized gains on these securities recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss in our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2017. We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2018, with these amounts recorded directly to retained earnings as of that date. Amounts reclassified that relate to our defined benefit pension and postretirement plans include the amortization of prior service costs and actuarial net losses recognized during each period presented. These costs are recorded as components of net periodic pension cost for each period presented (see Note 7 for additional details). Amounts reclassified that relate to unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities, pre-tax includes approximately $500 million of previously unrealized gains reclassified to other income as a result of sales of significant investments in available-for-sale securities in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, including UTC Climate, Controls & Security's sale of investments in Watsco, Inc. All noncontrolling interests with redemption features, such as put options, that are not solely within our control (redeemable noncontrolling interests) are reported in the mezzanine section of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, between liabilities and equity, at the greater of redemption value or initial carrying value. |

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Variable Interest Entity Disclosure [Text Block] | Variable Interest Entities Pratt & Whitney holds a net 61% interest in the International Aero Engines AG (IAE) collaboration with MTU Aero Engines AG (MTU) and Japanese Aero Engines Corporation (JAEC) and a 49.5% ownership interest in IAE. IAE's business purpose is to coordinate the design, development, manufacturing and product support of the V2500 program through involvement with the collaborators. Additionally, Pratt & Whitney, JAEC and MTU are participants in International Aero Engines, LLC (IAE LLC), whose business purpose is to coordinate the design, development, manufacturing and product support for the PW1100G-JM engine for the Airbus A320neo aircraft and the PW1400G-JM engine for the Irkut MC21 aircraft. Pratt & Whitney holds a 59% net interest and a 59% ownership interest in IAE LLC. IAE and IAE LLC retain limited equity with the primary economics of the programs passed to the participants. As such, we have determined that IAE and IAE LLC are variable interest entities with Pratt & Whitney the primary beneficiary. IAE and IAE LLC have, therefore, been consolidated. The carrying amounts and classification of assets and liabilities for variable interest entities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet are as follows: (dollars in millions) September 30, 2018 December 31, 2017 Current assets $ 5,423 $ 3,976 Noncurrent assets 1,439 1,534 Total assets $ 6,862 $ 5,510 Current liabilities $ 5,465 $ 3,601 Noncurrent liabilities 1,951 2,086 Total liabilities $ 7,416 $ 5,687 |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Contingent Liabilities [Text Block] | Contingent Liabilities Summarized below are the matters previously described in Note 18 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2017 Annual Report, incorporated by reference in our 2017 Form 10-K, updated as applicable. Except as otherwise noted, while we are unable to predict the final outcome, based on information currently available, we do not believe that resolution of any of the following matters will have a material adverse effect upon our competitive position, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. Environmental. Our operations are subject to environmental regulation by federal, state and local authorities in the United States and authorities with jurisdiction over our foreign operations. As described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2017 Annual Report, we have accrued for the costs of environmental remediation activities, including but not limited to investigatory, remediation, operating and maintenance costs and performance guarantees, and periodically reassess these amounts. We believe that the likelihood of incurring losses materially in excess of amounts accrued is remote. Additional information pertaining to environmental matters is included in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2017 Annual Report. Government. In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries and our properties are subject to regulatory and governmental examinations, information gathering requests, inquiries, investigations and threatened legal actions and proceedings. For example, we are now, and believe that, in light of the current U.S. Government contracting environment, we will continue to be the subject of one or more U.S. Government investigations. Such U.S. Government investigations often take years to complete and could result in administrative, civil or criminal liabilities, including repayments, fines, treble and other damages, forfeitures, restitution or penalties, or could lead to suspension or debarment of U.S. Government contracting or of export privileges. For instance, if we or one of our business units were charged with wrongdoing as a result of any of these investigations or other government investigations (including violations of certain anti-bribery, environmental or export laws) the U.S. Government could suspend us from bidding on or receiving awards of new U.S. Government contracts pending the completion of legal proceedings. If convicted or found liable, the U.S. Government could fine and debar us from new U.S. Government contracting for a period generally not to exceed three years. The U.S. Government also reserves the right to debar a contractor from receiving new government contracts for fraudulent, criminal or other seriously improper conduct. The U.S. Government could also void any contracts found to be tainted by fraud. Our contracts with the U.S. Government are also subject to audits. Like many defense contractors, we have received audit reports which recommend that certain contract prices should be reduced to comply with various government regulations, including because cost or pricing data we submitted in negotiation of the contract prices or cost accounting practices may not have conformed to government regulations, or that certain payments be delayed or withheld. Some of these audit reports involved substantial amounts. We have made voluntary refunds in those cases we believe appropriate, have settled some allegations and continue to litigate or challenge certain matters. In addition, we accrue for liabilities associated with those matters that are probable and can be reasonably estimated. The most likely settlement amount to be incurred is accrued based upon a range of estimates. Where no amount within a range of estimates is more likely, then we accrued the minimum amount. Legal Proceedings. Cost Accounting Standards Claim As previously disclosed, in December 2013, a Divisional Administrative Contracting Officer of the United States Defense Contract Management Agency asserted a claim against Pratt & Whitney to recover overpayments of approximately $177 million plus interest (approximately $80 million through September 30, 2018). The claim is based on Pratt & Whitney's alleged noncompliance with cost accounting standards from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2012, due to its method of determining the cost of collaborator parts used in the calculation of material overhead costs for government contracts. On March 18, 2014, Pratt & Whitney filed an appeal to the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals. Pratt & Whitney’s appeal is still pending and we continue to believe the government’s claim is without merit. German Tax Litigation As previously disclosed, UTC has been involved in administrative review proceedings with the German Tax Office, which concern approximately €215 million (approximately $253 million) of tax benefits that we have claimed related to a 1998 reorganization of the corporate structure of Otis operations in Germany. Upon audit, these tax benefits were disallowed by the German Tax Office. UTC estimates interest associated with the aforementioned tax benefits is an additional approximately €118 million (approximately $139 million). On August 3, 2012, we filed suit in the local German Tax Court (Berlin-Brandenburg). In March 2016, the local German Tax Court dismissed our suit, and we appealed this decision to the German Federal Tax Court (FTC). Following a hearing on July 24, 2018, the FTC remanded the matter to the local German Tax Court for further proceedings. In 2015, UTC made tax and interest payments to German tax authorities of €275 million (approximately $300 million) in order to avoid additional interest accruals pending final resolution of this matter. Asbestos Matters As previously disclosed, like many other industrial companies, we and our subsidiaries have been named as defendants in lawsuits alleging personal injury as a result of exposure to asbestos integrated into certain of our products or business premises. While we have never manufactured asbestos and no longer incorporate it in any currently-manufactured products, certain of our historical products, like those of many other manufacturers, have contained components incorporating asbestos. A substantial majority of these asbestos-related claims have been dismissed without payment or were covered in full or in part by insurance or other forms of indemnity. Additional cases were litigated and settled without any insurance reimbursement. The amounts involved in asbestos related claims were not material individually or in the aggregate in any year. Our estimated total liability to resolve all pending and unasserted potential future asbestos claims through 2059 is approximately $341 million and is principally recorded in Other long-term liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2018 . This amount is on a pre-tax basis, not discounted, and excludes the Company’s legal fees to defend the asbestos claims (which will continue to be expensed by the Company as they are incurred). In addition, the Company has an insurance recovery receivable for probable asbestos related recoveries of approximately $156 million , which is included primarily in Other assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2018 . The amounts recorded by UTC for asbestos-related liabilities and insurance recoveries are based on currently available information and assumptions that we believe are reasonable. Our actual liabilities or insurance recoveries could be higher or lower than those recorded if actual results vary significantly from the assumptions. Key variables in these assumptions include the number and type of new claims to be filed each year, the outcomes or resolution of such claims, the average cost of resolution of each new claim, the amount of insurance available, allocation methodologies, the contractual terms with each insurer with whom we have reached settlements, the resolution of coverage issues with other excess insurance carriers with whom we have not yet achieved settlements, and the solvency risk with respect to our insurance carriers. Other factors that may affect our future liability include uncertainties surrounding the litigation process from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and from case to case, legal rulings that may be made by state and federal courts, and the passage of state or federal legislation. At least annually, the Company evaluates all of these factors and, with input from an outside actuarial expert, makes any necessary adjustments to both our estimated asbestos liabilities and insurance recoveries. Other. As described in Note 14 of this Form 10-Q and Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2017 Annual Report, we extend performance and operating cost guarantees beyond our normal warranty and service policies for extended periods on some of our products. We have accrued our estimate of the liability that may result under these guarantees and for service costs that are probable and can be reasonably estimated. We also have other commitments and contingent liabilities related to legal proceedings, self-insurance programs and matters arising out of the normal course of business. We accrue contingencies based upon a range of possible outcomes. If no amount within this range is a better estimate than any other, then we accrue the minimum amount. In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are also routinely defendants in, parties to or otherwise subject to many pending and threatened legal actions, claims, disputes and proceedings. These matters are often based on alleged violations of contract, product liability, warranty, regulatory, environmental, health and safety, employment, intellectual property, tax and other laws. In some instances, claims for substantial monetary damages are asserted against the Company and its subsidiaries and could result in fines, penalties, compensatory or treble damages or non-monetary relief. We do not believe that these matters will have a material adverse effect upon our competitive position, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. |

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract] | |
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Text Block] | Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) . The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. In addition, this standard requires a lessor to classify leases as either sales-type, finance or operating. A lease will be treated as a sale if it transfers all of the risks and rewards, as well as control of the underlying asset, to the lessee. If risks and rewards are conveyed without the transfer of control, the lease is treated as financing. If the lessor doesn’t convey risks and rewards or control, the lease is treated as operating. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases . This ASU makes various targeted amendments to the leasing standard and we are evaluating this ASU in connection with adoption of the standard. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements . This standard allows entities to initially apply the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. We will be adopting this alternative transition method when adopting the new leasing standard as of January 1, 2019. We expect that upon adoption of these standards, we will recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities and that the amounts will be material. We do not expect ASU 2016-02 to have a material impact on our cash flows or results of operations. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) . The new standard allows companies to reclassify to retained earnings the stranded tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) from the newly-enacted U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We expect that upon adoption we will recognize a reclassification from AOCI to retained earnings that could be material, primarily related to pension. We are still evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements. We do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our cash flows and results of operations. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement . The new standard includes updates to the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements including several additions, deletions and modifications to the disclosure requirements. The provisions of this ASU are effective for years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans . The new standard includes updates to the disclosure requirements for defined benefit plans including several additions, deletions and modifications to the disclosure requirements. The provisions of this ASU are effective for years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract . The new standard provides updated guidance surrounding implementation costs associated with cloud computing arrangements that are service contracts. The provisions of this ASU are effective for years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU. |

Contract Asset and Liability [Abstract] | |
Contract with Customer, Asset and Liability [Table Text Block] | Contract Assets and Liabilities. Contract assets reflect revenue recognized and performance obligations satisfied in advance of customer billing. Contract liabilities relate to payments received in advance of the satisfaction of performance under the contract. We receive payments from customers based on the terms established in our contracts. Total contract assets and contract liabilities as of September 30, 2018 are as follows: (dollars in millions) September 30, 2018 Contract assets, current $ 3,450 Contract assets, noncurrent (included within Other assets) 1,075 Total contract assets 4,525 Contract liabilities, current (5,460 ) Contract liabilities, noncurrent (included within Other long-term liabilities) (5,044 ) Total contract liabilities (10,504 ) Net contract liabilities $ (5,979 ) Under the New Revenue Standard, during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , net contract liabilities increased to $5,979 million . This reflects the establishment of $6,365 million of net contract liabilities upon the adoption, and $21,093 million of advance payments from customers and reclassifications of contract assets to receivables upon billing during the period. These increases were partially offset by the liquidation of beginning of period contract liabilities of $1,978 million as a result of revenue recognition, and by $19,499 million of revenue recognition within the period. The remaining change is primarily attributable to the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes on the balance of contract assets and liabilities offset by net contract liabilities acquired through business combinations. |

Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Note 2: Revenue Recognition ASU 2014-09 and its related amendments (collectively, the New Revenue Standard) are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein. We adopted the New Revenue Standard effective January 1, 2018 and elected the modified retrospective approach. The results for periods before 2018 were not adjusted for the new standard and the cumulative effect of the change in accounting was recognized through retained earnings at the date of adoption. Revenue Recognition Accounting Policy Summary. We account for revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606: Revenue from Contracts with Customers . Under Topic 606, a performance obligation is a promise in a contract with a customer to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. Some of our contracts with customers contain a single performance obligation, while others contain multiple performance obligations most commonly when a contract spans multiple phases of the product life-cycle such as development, production, maintenance and support. A contract's transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. When there are multiple performance obligations within a contract, we allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation based on its standalone selling price. We consider the contractual consideration payable by the customer and assess variable consideration that may affect the total transaction price, including contractual discounts, contract incentive payments, estimates of award fees, unfunded contract value under U.S. Government contracts, and other sources of variable consideration, when determining the transaction price of each contract. We include variable consideration in the estimated transaction price when there is a basis to reasonably estimate the amount. These estimates are based on historical experience, anticipated performance and our best judgment at the time. We also consider whether our contracts provide customers with significant financing. Generally, our contracts do not contain significant financing. Point in time revenue recognition. Timing of the satisfaction of performance obligations varies across our businesses due to our diverse product and service mix, customer base, and contractual terms. Performance obligations are satisfied as of a point in time for heating, ventilating, air-conditioning and refrigeration systems, certain alarm and fire detection and suppression systems, and certain aerospace components, engines, and spare parts. Revenue is recognized when control of the product transfers to the customer, generally upon product shipment. Over-time revenue recognition. Performance obligations are satisfied over-time if the customer receives the benefits as we perform work, if the customer controls the asset as it is being produced, or if the product being produced for the customer has no alternative use and we have a contractual right to payment. Revenue is recognized for our construction-type and certain production-type contracts on an over-time basis. We recognize revenue on an over-time basis on certain long-term aerospace aftermarket contracts and aftermarket service work; development, fixed price, and other cost reimbursement contracts in our aerospace businesses; and elevator and escalator sales, installation, service, modernization and other construction contracts in our commercial businesses. For construction and installation contracts within our commercial businesses and aerospace performance obligations satisfied over time, revenue is recognized using costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs at completion to measure progress. Incurred costs represent work performed, which correspond with and best depict transfer of control to the customer. Contract costs include labor, materials, and subcontractors' costs, or other direct costs, and where applicable on government and commercial contracts, indirect costs. For certain of our long-term aftermarket contracts, revenue is recognized over the contract period. In the commercial businesses, revenue is primarily recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract period. In the aerospace businesses, we generally account for such contracts as a series of daily obligations to stand ready to provide product maintenance and aftermarket services. Revenue is primarily recognized in proportion to cost as sufficient historical evidence indicates that the cost of performing services under the contract is incurred on an other than straight-line basis. Aerospace contract modifications are routine and contracts are often modified to account for changes in contract specifications or requirements. Contract modifications that are for goods or services that are not distinct are accounted for as part of the existing contract. We incur costs for engineering and development of aerospace products directly related to existing or anticipated contracts with customers. Such costs generate or enhance our ability to satisfy our performance obligations under these contracts. We capitalize these costs as contract fulfillment costs to the extent the costs are recoverable from the associated contract margin and subsequently amortize the costs as the original equipment (OEM) products are delivered to the customer. In instances where intellectual property does not transfer to the customer, we defer the customer funding of OEM product engineering and development and recognize revenue when the OEM products are delivered to the customer. Costs to obtain contracts are not material. Loss provisions on OEM contracts are recognized to the extent that estimated contract costs exceed the estimated consideration from the products contemplated under the contractual arrangement. For new commitments, we generally record loss provisions at the earlier of contract announcement or contract signing except for certain contracts under which losses are recorded upon receipt of the purchase order that obligates us to perform. For existing commitments, anticipated losses on contractual arrangements are recognized in the period in which losses become evident. Products contemplated under contractual arrangements include firm quantities of product sold under contract and, in the commercial engine and wheels and brakes businesses, future highly probable sales of replacement parts required by regulation that are expected to be sold subsequently for incorporation into the original equipment. In the commercial engine and wheels and brakes businesses, when the combined original equipment and aftermarket arrangement for each individual sales campaign are profitable, we record original equipment product losses, as applicable, at the time of delivery. We review our cost estimates on significant contracts on a quarterly basis and for others, no less frequently than annually or when circumstances change and warrant a modification to a previous estimate. We record changes in contract estimates using the cumulative catch-up method. |
Additional Financial Information Disclosure [Text Block] | The following schedules quantify the impact of the New Revenue Standard on the statement of operations for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 .

The New Revenue Standard also resulted in an increase in Cost of products sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 related to the timing of manufacturing cost recognition. During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, Cost of products sold were lower under the New Revenue Standard due to a change in the contract average unit costs during the quarter. The lower amounts of research and development expense recognized under the New Revenue Standard reflect the capitalization of costs of engineering and development of aerospace products as contract fulfillment costs under contracts with customers. The following schedule quantifies the impact of the New Revenue Standard on our balance sheet as of September 30, 2018 . (dollars in millions) September 30, 2018 under previous standard Effect of the New Revenue Standard September 30, 2018 as reported Assets Accounts receivable, net $ 13,988 $ (1,438 ) $ 12,550 Contract assets, current — 3,450 3,450 Inventories 11,337 (2,269 ) 9,068 Other assets, current 1,305 32 1,337 Future income tax benefits 1,669 32 1,701 Intangible assets, net 15,771 (70 ) 15,701 Other assets 5,987 1,083 7,070 Liabilities and Equity Accrued liabilities $ 14,153 $ (5,286 ) $ 8,867 Contract liabilities, current — 5,460 5,460 Other long term liabilities 12,357 1,016 13,373 Noncontrolling interest 2,138 6 2,144 Retained earnings 58,118 (412 ) 57,706 The decrease in Retained earnings of $412 million in the table above reflects $480 million of adjustments to the balance sheet as of January 1, 2018, resulting from the adoption of the New Revenue Standard partially offset by $68 million higher reported net income under the New Revenue Standard during 2018. The declines in Accounts receivable, net, Inventories, Other assets, current, and Intangible assets, net, reflect reclassifications to contract assets, and specifically for Inventories, earlier recognition of costs of products sold for contracts requiring an over-time method of revenue recognition. The increase in Other assets reflects the establishment of non-current contract assets and contract fulfillment cost assets. The decline in accrued liabilities is primarily due to the reclassification of payments from customers in advance of work performed as contract liabilities. The Other long term liabilities increase primarily reflects the establishment of non-current contract liabilities for certain customer funding of OEM product engineering and development, which will be recognized as revenue when the OEM products are delivered to the customer. |

U.S. Defense Contract Management Agency Claim Against Pratt & Whitney [Member] | |
Loss Contingencies [Line Items] | |
Loss Contingency Lawsuit Filing Date | December 24, 2013 |
Loss Contingency Allegations | As previously disclosed, in December 2013, a Divisional Administrative Contracting Officer of the United States Defense Contract Management Agency asserted a claim against Pratt & Whitney to recover overpayments of approximately $177 million plus interest (approximately $80 million through September 30, 2018). The claim is based on Pratt & Whitney's alleged noncompliance with cost accounting standards from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2012, due to its method of determining the cost of collaborator parts used in the calculation of material overhead costs for government contracts. |
Loss Contingency Damages Sought | $177 million |
Loss Contingency Actions Taken By Defendant | On March 18, 2014, Pratt & Whitney filed an appeal to the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals. Pratt & Whitney’s appeal is still pending and we continue to believe the government’s claim is without merit. |

German Tax Office Against Otis [Member] | |
Loss Contingencies [Line Items] | |
Loss Contingency Lawsuit Filing Date | August 3, 2012 |
Loss Contingency Allegations | As previously disclosed, UTC has been involved in administrative review proceedings with the German Tax Office, which concern approximately €215 million (approximately $253 million) of tax benefits that we have claimed related to a 1998 reorganization of the corporate structure of Otis operations in Germany. Upon audit, these tax benefits were disallowed by the German Tax Office. UTC estimates interest associated with the aforementioned tax benefits is an additional approximately €118 million (approximately $139 million). On August 3, 2012, we filed suit in the local German Tax Court (Berlin-Brandenburg). In March 2016, the local German Tax Court dismissed our suit, and we appealed this decision to the German Federal Tax Court (FTC). Following a hearing on July 24, 2018, the FTC remanded the matter to the local German Tax Court for further proceedings. |
Loss Contingency Damages Sought | €215 million (approximately $253 million) |
Loss Contingency Actions Taken By Defendant | In 2015, UTC made tax and interest payments to German tax authorities of €275 million (approximately $300 million) in order to avoid additional interest accruals pending final resolution of this matter. |

Asbestos Matter [Member] | |
Loss Contingencies [Line Items] | |
Loss Contingency Allegations | As previously disclosed, like many other industrial companies, we and our subsidiaries have been named as defendants in lawsuits alleging personal injury as a result of exposure to asbestos integrated into certain of our products or business premises. While we have never manufactured asbestos and no longer incorporate it in any currently-manufactured products, certain of our historical products, like those of many other manufacturers, have contained components incorporating asbestos. A substantial majority of these asbestos-related claims have been dismissed without payment or were covered in full or in part by insurance or other forms of indemnity. Additional cases were litigated and settled without any insurance reimbursement. The amounts involved in asbestos related claims were not material individually or in the aggregate in any year. |
Loss Contingency, Management's Assessment and Process | Our estimated total liability to resolve all pending and unasserted potential future asbestos claims through 2059 is approximately $341 million and is principally recorded in Other long-term liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2018. This amount is on a pre-tax basis, not discounted, and excludes the Company’s legal fees to defend the asbestos claims (which will continue to be expensed by the Company as they are incurred). In addition, the Company has an insurance recovery receivable for probable asbestos related recoveries of approximately $156 million, which is included primarily in Other assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2018. The amounts recorded by UTC for asbestos-related liabilities and insurance recoveries are based on currently available information and assumptions that we believe are reasonable. Our actual liabilities or insurance recoveries could be higher or lower than those recorded if actual results vary significantly from the assumptions. Key variables in these assumptions include the number and type of new claims to be filed each year, the outcomes or resolution of such claims, the average cost of resolution of each new claim, the amount of insurance available, allocation methodologies, the contractual terms with each insurer with whom we have reached settlements, the resolution of coverage issues with other excess insurance carriers with whom we have not yet achieved settlements, and the solvency risk with respect to our insurance carriers. Other factors that may affect our future liability include uncertainties surrounding the litigation process from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and from case to case, legal rulings that may be made by state and federal courts, and the passage of state or federal legislation. At least annually, the Company evaluates all of these factors and, with input from an outside actuarial expert, makes any necessary adjustments to both our estimated asbestos liabilities and insurance recoveries. |

New Accounting Pronouncements or Change in Accounting Principle [Line Items] | |
New Accounting Pronouncement or Change in Accounting Principle, Description | In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. In addition, this standard requires a lessor to classify leases as either sales-type, finance or operating. A lease will be treated as a sale if it transfers all of the risks and rewards, as well as control of the underlying asset, to the lessee. If risks and rewards are conveyed without the transfer of control, the lease is treated as financing. If the lessor doesn’t convey risks and rewards or control, the lease is treated as operating. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases. This ASU makes various targeted improvements to the leasing standard and we are evaluating this ASU upon adoption of the standard. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements. This standard allows entities to initially apply the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. We will be adopting this alternative transition method when adopting the new leasing standard as of January 1, 2019. We expect that upon adoption of these standards, we will recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities and that the amounts could be -material. We do not expect ASU 2016-02 to have a material impact on our cash flows or results of operations. |

New Accounting Pronouncement or Change in Accounting Principle, Description | In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Topic 220). The new standard allows companies to reclassify to retained earnings the stranded tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) from the newly-enacted U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We expect that upon adoption we will recognize a reclassification from AOCI to retained earnings that could be material, primarily related to pension. We are still evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements. We do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our cash flows and results of operations. |
