Management is required to use estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, the reported revenues and expenses recognized during the reporting period, and certain financial statement disclosures, in the preparation of the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein. Significant estimates in these unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include allowances for credit losses; net realizable value of inventories; variable consideration including customer rebates earned and payable and early payment discounts; warranty reserves; useful lives of property and identifiable intangible assets; the evaluation of impairments of property, intangible assets, and goodwill; the provision for income tax and related valuation reserves; the valuation of derivative instruments; assumptions used in the determination of the funded status and annual expense of pension and postretirement employee benefit plans; the valuation of stock compensation instruments granted to employees, board members and any other eligible recipients; estimates of incremental borrowing rates used when estimating the present value of future lease payments; assumptions used when including renewal options or non-exercise of termination options in lease terms; Global Business Conditions We continue to monitor a variety of external issues impacting our business, including the ongoing global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, rising inflation, and global supply chain and labor disruptions. Although we continue to see recovery across most of our end markets, our financial performance during the first nine-months of fiscal year 2022 was adversely affected by these issues. We are unable to predict the full extent to which these impacts will continue to adversely affect our business, including our operational performance, results of operations, cash flows, financial position, and the achievement of our strategic objectives. We continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions regarding our business operations if we determine such actions are in the best interests of our shareholders, employees, customers, communities, business partners, and suppliers, or as required by federal, state or local authorities.

Remaining performance obligations Remaining performance obligations related to the aggregate amount of the total contract transaction price of firm orders for which the performance obligation has not yet been recognized in revenue as of June 30, 2022 was $1,595,880, compared to $1,283,311 as of September 30, 2021, the majority of which relates to Woodward’s Aerospace segment in both periods. Woodward expects to recognize almost all of these remaining performance obligations within two years after June 30, 2022. Remaining performance obligations related to material rights that have not yet been recognized in revenue as of June 30, 2022 was $450,888, compared to $471,133 as of September 30, 2021, of which $2,413 is expected to be recognized in the remainder of fiscal year 2022, $12,681 is expected to be recognized in fiscal year 2023, and the remaining balance is expected to be recognized thereafter. Woodward expects to recognize revenue from performance obligations related to material rights over the life of the underlying programs, which may be as long as forty years. Disaggregation of Revenue Woodward designs, produces and services reliable, efficient, low-emission, and high-performance energy control products for diverse applications in markets throughout the world. Woodward reports financial results for each of its Aerospace and Industrial reportable segments. Woodward further disaggregates its revenue from contracts with customers by primary market as Woodward believes this best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of its revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Revenue by primary market for the Aerospace reportable segment was as follows: Three-Months Ended June 30, Nine-Months Ended June 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Commercial OEM $ 131,968 $ 96,290 $ 359,683 $ 274,278 Commercial aftermarket 108,695 75,508 303,335 218,602 Defense OEM 115,205 117,204 318,392 384,097 Defense aftermarket 45,844 51,910 129,494 150,308 Total Aerospace segment net sales $ 401,712 $ 340,912 $ 1,110,904 $ 1,027,285 Revenue by primary market for the Industrial reportable segment was as follows: Three-Months Ended June 30, Nine-Months Ended June 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Reciprocating engines $ 154,090 $ 166,143 $ 469,087 $ 494,099 Industrial turbines 58,530 49,620 162,766 154,231 Total Industrial segment net sales $ 212,620 $ 215,763 $ 631,853 $ 648,330 The customers who each account for approximately 10% or more of net sales of each of Woodward’s reportable segments are as follows: Three and Nine-Months Ended June 30, 2022 Aerospace The Boeing Company, General Electric Company, Raytheon Technologies Industrial Rolls-Royce PLC, Wartsila, Caterpillar, Inc. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings Per Share | Note 4. Earnings per share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the weighted-average number of shares outstanding after consideration of the dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock. The following is a reconciliation of net earnings to basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share: Three-Months Ended June 30, Nine-Months Ended June 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Numerator: Net earnings $ 39,446 $ 48,861 $ 117,657 $ 158,744 Denominator: Basic shares outstanding 60,506 63,559 62,052 63,215 Dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock 1,582 2,351 1,885 2,284 Diluted shares outstanding 62,088 65,910 63,937 65,499 Income per common share: Basic earnings per share $ 0.65 $ 0.77 $ 1.90 $ 2.51 Diluted earnings per share $ 0.64 $ 0.74 $ 1.84 $ 2.42 The following stock option grants were outstanding but were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Leases [Abstract] | |
Lease | Note 5. Leases Lessee arrangements Woodward has entered into operating leases for certain facilities and equipment with terms in excess of one year under agreements that expire at various dates. Some leases require the payment of property taxes, insurance, maintenance costs, or other similar costs in addition to rental payments. Woodward has also entered into finance leases for equipment with terms in excess of one year under agreements that expire at various dates. Lease-related assets and liabilities were as follows: Classification on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets June 30, 2022 September 30, 2021 Assets: Operating lease assets Other assets $ 24,108 $ 19,370 Finance lease assets Property, plant and equipment, net 1,733 781 Total lease assets 25,841 20,151 Current liabilities: Operating lease liabilities Accrued liabilities 4,896 5,260 Finance lease liabilities Current portion of long-term debt 458 728 Noncurrent liabilities: Operating lease liabilities Other liabilities 19,844 14,770 Finance lease liabilities Long-term debt, less current portion 1,303 475 Total lease liabilities $ 26,501 $ 21,233 Lease-related expenses were as follows: Three-Months Ended June 30, Nine-Months Ended June 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Operating lease expense $ 1,549 $ 1,729 $ 4,809 $ 4,897 Amortization of finance lease assets 116 102 290 322 Interest on finance lease liabilities 14 13 30 48 Variable lease expense 226 282 832 1,100 Short-term lease expense 44 75 134 233 Sublease (income) 1 — (104 ) (192 ) (486 ) Total lease expense $ 1,949 $ 2,097 $ 5,903 $ 6,114 (1) Relates to two separate subleases Woodward entered into for a leased manufacturing building in Niles, Illinois. During the nine-months ended June 30, 2022, these subleases were terminated. Lease-related supplemental cash flow information was as follows: Nine-Months Ended June 30, 2022 2021 Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities: Operating cash flows for operating leases $ 4,136 $ 4,229 Operating cash flows for finance leases 30 48 Financing cash flows for finance leases 690 1,236 Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for recorded lease obligations: Operating leases 9,997 6,759 Finance leases 1,260 35 Lessor arrangements Woodward has assessed its manufacturing contracts and concluded that certain of the contracts for the manufacture of customer products met the criteria to be considered a leasing arrangement (“embedded leases”) with Woodward as the lessor. The specific manufacturing contracts that met the criteria were those that utilized Woodward property, plant and equipment and which are substantially (more than 90%) dedicated to the manufacturing of the product(s) for a single customer. Woodward has dedicated manufacturing lines with four of its customers representing embedded leases, all of which qualified as operating leases with undefined quantities of future customer purchase commitments. Although Woodward expects to allocate some portion of future net sales to these customers to embedded lessor arrangements, it cannot provide expected future undiscounted lease payments from property, plant and equipment leased to customers as of June 30, 2022. If, in the future, customers reduce purchases of related products from Woodward, the Company believes it will derive additional value from the underlying equipment by repurposing its use to support other customer arrangements. Revenue from contracts with customers that included embedded operating leases, which is included in “Net sales” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings, was $1,303 for the three-months and $3,969 for the nine-months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $1,519 for the three-months and $4,828 for the nine-months ended June 30, 2021. The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment June 30, 2022 September 30, 2021 Property, plant and equipment leased to others through embedded leasing arrangements $ 48,968 $ 93,732 Less accumulated depreciation (25,742 ) (35,733 ) Property, plant and equipment leased to others through embedded leasing arrangements, net $ 23,226 $ 57,999 |

Equity Method Investments And Joint Ventures [Abstract] | |
Joint Venture | Note 6. Joint venture In fiscal year 2016, Woodward and General Electric Company (“GE”), acting through its GE Aviation business unit, consummated the formation of a strategic joint venture between Woodward and GE (the “JV”) to develop, manufacture and support fuel systems for specified existing and all future GE commercial aircraft engines that produce thrust in excess of fifty thousand pounds. Unamortized deferred revenue from material rights in connection with the JV formation included: June 30, 2022 September 30, 2021 Accrued liabilities $ 5,508 $ 4,771 Other liabilities 235,763 234,237 Amortization of the deferred revenue (material right) recognized as an increase to sales was $905 for the three-months and $2,632 for the nine-months ended June 30, 2022, and $971 for the three-months and $3,142 for the nine-months ended June 30, 2021. As part of the JV formation, GE pays contingent consideration to Woodward consisting of fifteen annual payments of $4,894 per year, which began in the second quarter of fiscal year 2017, subject to certain claw-back conditions. Woodward received its annual payments of $4,894 during the three-months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, which were recorded as deferred income and included in “Net cash provided by operating activities” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Other income related to Woodward’s equity interest in the earnings of the JV was as follows: Three-Months Ended June 30, Nine-Months Ended June 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Other income $ 3,860 $ 2,688 $ 12,675 $ 8,853 Cash distributions to Woodward from the JV, recognized in “Other, net” in “Net cash provided by operating activities” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, were as follows: Three-Months Ended June 30, Nine-Months Ended June 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Cash distributions $ 4,000 $ 3,000 $ 13,000 $ 10,000 Net sales to the JV were as follows: Three-Months Ended June 30, Nine-Months Ended June 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Net sales 1 $ 6,698 $ 8,441 $ 19,245 $ 26,825 (1) Net sales included a reduction of $7,912 for the three-months and $21,058 for the nine-months ended June 30, 2022 related to royalties owed to the JV by Woodward on sales by Woodward directly to third party aftermarket customers, compared to a reduction to sales of $3,944 for the three-months and $14,998 for the nine-months ended June 30, 2021. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets include “Accounts receivable” related to amounts the JV owed Woodward, “Accounts payable” related to amounts Woodward owed the JV, and “Other assets” related to Woodward’s net investment in the JV, as follows: June 30, 2022 September 30, 2021 Accounts receivable $ 3,857 $ 3,639 Accounts payable 3,163 2,823 Other assets 6,664 6,988 |

Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements | Note 7. Financial instruments and fair value measurements The table below presents information about Woodward’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques Woodward utilized to determine such fair value as defined by the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy. At June 30, 2022 At September 30, 2021 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Financial assets: Investments in term deposits with foreign banks $ 32,205 $ — $ — $ 32,205 $ 13,187 $ — $ — $ 13,187 Equity securities 24,192 — — 24,192 29,714 — — 29,714 Cross-currency interest rate swaps — 9,002 — 9,002 — — — — Total financial assets $ 56,397 $ 9,002 $ — $ 65,399 $ 42,901 $ — $ — $ 42,901 Financial liabilities: Cross-currency interest rate swaps $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ 50,185 $ — $ 50,185 Total financial liabilities $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ 50,185 $ — $ 50,185 Investments in term deposits with foreign banks: Woodward’s foreign subsidiaries sometimes invest excess cash in various highly liquid financial instruments that Woodward believes are with creditworthy financial institutions. Such investments are reported in “Cash and cash equivalents” at fair value, with realized gains from interest income recognized in earnings. The carrying value of Woodward’s investments in term deposits with foreign banks are considered equal to the fair value given the highly liquid nature of the investments. Equity securities: Woodward holds marketable equity securities, through investments in various mutual funds, related to its deferred compensation program. Based on Woodward’s intentions regarding these instruments, marketable equity securities are classified as trading securities. The trading securities are reported at fair value, with realized gains and losses recognized in “Other (income) expense, net” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The trading securities are included in “Other assets” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair values of Woodward’s trading securities are based on the quoted market prices for the net asset value of the various mutual funds. Cross-currency interest rate swaps: Woodward holds cross-currency interest rate swaps, which are accounted for at fair value. In the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, the swaps in an asset position are included in “Other assets,” and swaps in a liability position are included in “Other liabilities”. The fair values of Woodward’s cross-currency interest rate swaps are determined using a market approach that is based on observable inputs other than quoted market prices, including contract terms, interest rates, currency rates, and other market factors. Cash, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, and short-term borrowings are not remeasured to fair value, as the carrying cost of each approximates its respective fair value. The estimated fair values and carrying costs of other financial instruments that are not required to be remeasured at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were as follows: At June 30, 2022 At September 30, 2021 Fair Value Hierarchy Level Estimated Fair Value Carrying Cost Estimated Fair Value Carrying Cost Assets: Notes receivable from municipalities 2 $ 10,230 $ 10,030 $ 11,413 $ 10,193 Notes receivable from sale of the renewable power systems business and other related businesses 2 — — 6,288 6,061 Investments in short-term time deposits 2 9,196 9,341 11,587 11,580 Liabilities: Long-term debt 2 693,558 718,810 812,866 736,706 In connection with certain economic incentives related to Woodward’s development of a second campus in the greater-Rockford, Illinois area for its Aerospace segment and Woodward’s development of a new campus at its corporate headquarters in Fort Collins, Colorado, Woodward received long-term notes from municipalities within the states of Illinois and Colorado. The fair value of the long-term notes was estimated based on a model that discounted future principal and interest payments received at an interest rate available to Woodward at the end of the period for similarly rated municipal notes of similar maturity, which is a level 2 input as defined by the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy. The interest rates used to estimate the fair value of the long-term notes were 3.0% at June 30, 2022 and 1.3% at September 30, 2021. In connection with the sale of the renewable power systems business and other related businesses, Woodward received a promissory note from the buyer for deferral of a portion of the purchase price. The full amount of the promissory note was received during the three-months ended June 30, 2022. From time to time, certain of Woodward’s foreign subsidiaries will invest excess cash in short-term time deposits with a fixed maturity date of longer than three months but less than one year from the date of the deposit. Woodward believes that the investments are with creditworthy financial institutions. The fair value of the investments in short-term time deposits was estimated based on a model that discounted future principal and interest payments to be received at an interest rate available to the foreign subsidiary entering into the investment for similar short-term time deposits of similar maturity. This was determined to be a level 2 input as defined by the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy. The interest rates used to estimate the fair value of the short-term time deposits was 5.5% at June 30, 2022 and 3.3% at September 30, 2021. The fair value of long-term debt was estimated based on the prices of debt of comparable type and maturity available to Woodward at the end of the period, which is a level 2 input as defined by the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy. The weighted-average interest rate used to estimate the fair value of long-term debt was 4.2% at June 30, 2022 and 1.6% at September 30, 2021. Woodward does not have expected credit losses related to any financial assets that are not required to be remeasured at fair value. |

Derivative Instruments And Hedges [Abstract] | |
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities | Note 8. Derivative instruments and hedging activities Derivative instruments not designated or qualifying as hedging instruments In May 2020, Woodward entered into a floating-rate cross-currency interest rate swap (the “2020 Floating-Rate Cross-Currency Swap”), with a notional value of $45,000, and five fixed-rate cross-currency interest rate swap agreements (the “2020 Fixed-Rate Cross-Currency Swaps”), with an aggregate notional value of $400,000, which effectively reduced the interest rates on the underlying fixed and floating-rate debt, respectively, under the 2018 Notes (as defined in Note 15, Credit Facilities, short-term borrowings and long-term debt, The net interest income of the cross-currency interest rate swaps is recorded as a reduction to “Interest expense” in Woodward’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. As of June 30, 2022, the total notional value of the 2020 Floating-Rate Cross-Currency Swap and the 2020 Fixed-Rate Cross-Currency Swaps was $15,000 and $400,000, respectively. See Note 7, Financial Instruments and fair value measurements Derivatives instruments in fair value hedging relationships In May 2020, Woodward entered into a US dollar denominated intercompany loan payable with identical terms and notional value as the 2020 Floating-Rate Cross-Currency Swap, together with a reciprocal intercompany floating-rate cross-currency interest rate swap. The agreements were entered into by Woodward Barbados Euro Financing SRL (“Euro Barbados”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Woodward. The US dollar denominated intercompany loan and reciprocal intercompany floating-rate cross-currency interest rate swap are designated as a fair value hedge under the criteria prescribed in ASC 815. The objective of the derivative instrument is to hedge against the foreign currency exchange risk attributable to the spot remeasurement of the US dollar denominated intercompany loan, as Euro Barbados maintains a Euro functional currency. For each floating-rate intercompany cross-currency interest rate swap, only the change in the fair value related to the cross-currency basis spread, or excluded component, of the derivative instrument is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (“OCI”). The remaining change in the fair value of the derivative instrument is recognized in foreign currency transaction gain or loss included in “Selling, general and administrative costs” in Woodward’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The change in the fair value of the derivative instrument in foreign currency transaction gain or loss offsets the change in the spot remeasurement of the intercompany Euro and US dollar denominated loans. Hedge effectiveness is assessed based on the fair value changes of the derivative instrument, after excluding any fair value changes related to the cross-currency basis spread. The initial cost of the cross-currency basis spread is recorded in earnings each period through the swap accrual process. There are no credit-risk-related contingent features associated with the intercompany floating-rate cross-currency interest rate swap. Derivative instruments in cash flow hedging relationships In May 2020, Woodward entered into five US dollar intercompany loans payable, with identical terms and notional values of each tranche of the 2020 Fixed-Rate Cross-Currency Swaps, together with reciprocal fixed-rate intercompany cross-currency interest rate swaps. The agreements were entered into by Euro Barbados and are designated as cash flow hedges under the criteria prescribed in ASC 815. The objective of these derivative instruments is to hedge the risk of variability in cash flows attributable to the foreign currency exchange risk of cash flows for future principal and interest payments associated with the US dollar denominated intercompany loans over a thirteen-year period, as Euro Barbados maintains a Euro functional currency. For each of the fixed-rate intercompany cross-currency interest rate swaps, changes in the fair values of the derivative instruments are recognized in accumulated OCI and reclassified to foreign currency transaction gain or loss included in “Selling, general and administrative costs” in Woodward’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Reclassifications out of accumulated OCI of the change in fair value occur each reporting period based upon changes in the spot rate remeasurement of the Euro and US dollar denominated intercompany loans, including associated interest. Hedge effectiveness is assessed based on the fair value changes of the derivative instruments and such hedges are deemed to be highly effective in offsetting exposure to variability in foreign exchange rates. There are no credit-risk-related contingent features associated with these fixed-rate cross-currency interest rate swaps. Derivatives instruments in net investment hedging relationships On September 23, 2016, Woodward and Woodward International Holding B.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of Woodward organized under the laws of The Netherlands (the “BV Subsidiary”), each entered into a note purchase agreement (the “2016 Note Purchase Agreement”) relating to the sale by Woodward and the BV Subsidiary of an aggregate principal amount of €160,000 of senior unsecured notes in a series of private placement transactions. Woodward issued €40,000 aggregate principal amount of Woodward’s Series M Senior Notes due September 23, 2026 (the “Series M Notes”). Woodward designated the Series M Notes as a hedge of a foreign currency exposure of Woodward’s net investment in its Euro denominated functional currency subsidiaries. Related to the Series M Notes, included in foreign currency translation adjustments within total comprehensive (losses) earnings are net foreign exchange gains of $2,887 for the three-months and $4,631 for the nine-months ended June 30, 2022, compared to net foreign exchange losses of $750 for the three-months and $648 for the nine-months ended June 30, 2021.

Credit Facilities, Short-term Borrowings and Long-term Debt | Note 14. Credit facilities, short-term borrowings and long-term debt Revolving credit facility Woodward maintains a $1,000,000 revolving credit facility established under a revolving credit agreement among Woodward, a syndicate of lenders and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”). The Revolving Credit Agreement provides for the option to increase available borrowings up to $1,500,000, subject to lenders’ participation. On November 24, 2021, Woodward amended the Revolving Credit Agreement (such amended agreement, the “Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement”) to, among other things, (i) replace the Euro London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), the British pound sterling LIBOR, and the Japanese yen LIBOR rates with the Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“Euribor”), Sterling Overnight Index Average (“SONIA”), and Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate (“TIBOR”) rates, respectively, and (ii) introduce the term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as the replacement for US LIBOR. Borrowings under the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement can be made by Woodward and certain of its foreign subsidiaries in U.S. dollars or in foreign currencies other than the U.S. dollar and generally bear interest at the new base rates listed above plus 0.875% to 1.75%. The Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement matures on June 19, 2024. Under the Revolving Credit Agreement and Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement, there were $49,200 in principal amount of borrowings outstanding as of June 30, 2022, at an effective interest rate of 2.90%. As of June 30, 2022, all of borrowings outstanding were classified as short-term borrowings based on Woodward’s intent and ability to pay this amount in the next twelve months. As of September 30, 2021, there were no borrowings outstanding. Short-term borrowings Woodward has other foreign lines of credit and foreign overdraft facilities at various financial institutions, which are generally reviewed annually for renewal and are subject to the usual terms and conditions applied by the financial institutions. Pursuant to the terms of the related facility agreements, Woodward’s foreign performance guarantee facilities are limited in use to providing performance guarantees to third parties. There were no borrowings outstanding on Woodward’s foreign lines of credit and foreign overdraft facilities as of June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021. |

During such fiscal year, restructuring charges of $5,008 were recorded as nonsegment expenses, the majority of which are expected to be paid within twelve months. In fiscal year 2020, the Company committed to a plan of termination (the “Termination Plan”), as well as other cost savings actions, in response to the ongoing global economic challenges resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the Company’s business. The Termination Plan involved the termination and/or furlough of employees and contractors at certain of the Company’s operating facilities, primarily in the United States. As a result of the Termination Plan and other related actions, the Company incurred $23,673 of restructuring charges for employee severance and benefits costs. All of the restructuring charges recorded during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020 were recorded as nonsegment expenses and were paid as of September 30, 2021. The summary of activity in accrued restructuring charges during the nine-months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 are as follows: Period Activity Balances as of September 30, 2021 Charges Payments Foreign currency exchange rate changes Non-cash activity Balances as of June 30, 2022 Workforce management costs associated with: Hydraulics Systems Realignment $ 3,758 $ — $ (505 ) $ — $ — $ 3,253 Engine Systems Realignment 1,250 — — — — 1,250 Total $ 5,008 $ — $ (505 ) $ — $ — $ 4,503 Period Activity Balances as of September 30, 2020 Charges Payments Foreign currency exchange rate changes Non-cash activity Balances as of June 30, 2021 Workforce management costs associated with: COVID-19 pandemic $ 3,395 $ — $ (2,409 ) $ 180 $ (1,166 ) $ — Total $ 3,395 $ — $ (2,409 ) $ 180 $ (1,166 ) $ — |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | Note 18. Income taxes The determination of the estimated annual effective tax rate is based upon a number of significant estimates and judgments. In addition, as a global commercial enterprise, Woodward’s tax expense can be impacted by changes in tax rates or laws, the finalization of tax audits and reviews, changes in the estimate of the amount of undistributed foreign earnings that Woodward considers indefinitely reinvested, issuance of future guidance, interpretation, and rule-making, and other factors that cannot be predicted with certainty. As such, there can be significant volatility in interim tax provisions. The following table sets forth the tax expense and the effective tax rate for Woodward’s earnings before income taxes: Three-Months Ended June 30, Nine-Months Ended June 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Earnings before income taxes $ 50,287 $ 58,698 $ 142,129 $ 184,769 Income tax expense 10,841 9,837 24,472 26,025 Effective tax rate 21.6 % 16.8 % 17.2 % 14.1 % The increase in the effective tax rate for the three-months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three-months ended June 30, 2021 is primarily attributable to decreased stock-based compensation tax benefit and prior period tax items related to Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) that did not repeat in the current quarter. These unfavorable impacts to the effective tax rate were partially offset by the prior quarter discrete impact of the enactment of a retroactive law disallowing foreign interest expense. The increase in the effective tax rate for the nine-months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the nine-months ended June 30, 2021 is primarily attributable to decreased stock-based compensation tax benefit as a percent of year-to-date pre-tax earnings, prior period tax items related to GILTI that did not repeat in the current fiscal year, and increased state income taxes relative to full-year projected earnings. These unfavorable impacts to the effective tax rate were partially offset by a reduction in the U.S. tax on international activities. Gross unrecognized tax benefits were $13,729 as of June 30, 2022, and $15,199 as of September 30, 2021. At June 30, 2022, the amount of the liability for unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact Woodward’s effective tax rate was $8,842. At this time, Woodward believes it is reasonably possible that the liability for unrecognized tax benefits will decrease by as much as $4,345 in the next twelve months due to the completion of review by tax authorities, lapses of statutes, and the settlement of tax positions. Woodward’s tax expense includes accruals for potential interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits and all other interest and penalties related to tax payments. Woodward’s tax returns are subject to audits by U.S. federal, state, and foreign tax authorities, and these audits are at various stages of completion at any given time. Reviews of tax matters by authorities and lapses of the applicable statutes of limitation may result in changes to tax expense. Woodward’s fiscal years remaining open to examination for U.S. Federal income taxes include fiscal years 2018 and thereafter. Woodward’s fiscal years remaining open to examination for significant U.S. state income tax jurisdictions include fiscal years 2017 and thereafter. Woodward’s fiscal years remaining open to examination in significant foreign jurisdictions include 2017 and thereafter. |

Retirement Benefits | Note 19. Retirement benefits Woodward provides various retirement benefits to eligible members of the Company, including contributions to various defined contribution plans, pension benefits associated with defined benefit plans, postretirement medical benefits and postretirement life insurance benefits. Eligibility requirements and benefit levels vary depending on employee location. Defined contribution plans Most of the Company’s U.S. employees are eligible to participate in the U.S. defined contribution plan. The U.S. defined contribution plan allows employees to defer part of their annual income for income tax purposes into their personal 401(k) accounts. The Company makes matching contributions to eligible employee accounts, which are also deferred for employee personal income tax purposes. Certain non-U.S. employees are also eligible to participate in similar non-U.S. plans. Woodward’s U.S. employees receive an annual contribution of Woodward stock, equal to 5% of their eligible prior year wages, to their personal Woodward Retirement Savings Plan accounts. There is no longer a minimum service requirement to be eligible for this benefit. Woodward fulfilled its annual obligation under this benefit using shares held in treasury stock by issuing a total of 150 shares of common stock for a value of $17,168 in the second quarter of fiscal year 2022, compared to a total of 128 shares of common stock for a value of $14,900 in the second quarter of fiscal year 2021. The amount of expense associated with defined contribution plans was as follows: Three-Months Ended June 30, Nine-Months Ended June 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Company costs $ 10,132 $ 8,647 $ 30,582 $ 25,180 Defined benefit plans Woodward has defined benefit plans that provide pension benefits for certain retired employees in the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, and Germany. Woodward also provides other postretirement benefits to its employees including postretirement medical benefits and life insurance benefits. Postretirement medical benefits are provided to certain current and retired employees and their covered dependents and beneficiaries in the United States. Life insurance benefits are provided to certain retirees in the United States under frozen plans, which are no longer available to current employees. A September 30 measurement date is utilized to value plan assets and obligations for all of Woodward’s defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans. U.S. GAAP requires that, for obligations outstanding as of September 30, 2021, the funded status reported in interim periods shall be the same asset or liability recognized in the previous year end statement of financial position adjusted for (a) subsequent accruals of net periodic benefit cost that exclude the amortization of amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income (for example, subsequent accruals of service cost, interest cost, and return on plan assets) and (b) contributions to a funded plan or benefit payments. The components of the net periodic retirement pension costs recognized are as follows: Three-Months Ended June 30, United States Other Countries Total 2022 2021 2022 2021 2022 2021 Service cost $ 389 $ 433 $ 573 $ 737 $ 962 $ 1,170 Interest cost 1,320 1,240 395 345 1,715 1,585 Expected return on plan assets (2,713 ) (3,536 ) (596 ) (632 ) (3,309 ) (4,168 ) Amortization of: Net actuarial loss 65 136 136 237 201 373 Prior service cost 246 242 6 6 252 248 Net periodic retirement pension (benefit) cost $ (693 ) $ (1,485 ) $ 514 $ 693 $ (179 ) $ (792 ) Contributions paid $ — $ — $ 434 $ 490 $ 434 $ 490 Nine-Months Ended June 30, United States Other Countries Total 2022 2021 2022 2021 2022 2021 Service cost $ 1,166 $ 1,297 $ 1,803 $ 2,202 $ 2,969 $ 3,499 Interest cost 3,961 3,718 1,243 1,021 5,204 4,739 Expected return on plan assets (8,140 ) (10,608 ) (1,881 ) (1,859 ) (10,021 ) (12,467 ) Amortization of: Net actuarial loss 194 406 428 699 622 1,105 Prior service cost 736 727 18 18 754 745 Net periodic retirement pension (benefit) cost $ (2,083 ) $ (4,460 ) $ 1,611 $ 2,081 $ (472 ) $ (2,379 ) Contributions paid $ — $ — $ 1,933 $ 1,708 $ 1,933 $ 1,708 The components of net periodic retirement pension costs other than the service cost and interest cost components are included in the line item “Other (income) expense, net”, and the interest component is included in the line item “Interest expense” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The components of the net periodic other postretirement benefit costs recognized are as follows: Three-Months Ended June 30, Nine-Months Ended June 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Service cost $ 1 $ — $ 1 $ 1 Interest cost 144 150 433 449 Amortization of: Net actuarial (gain) loss (24 ) 7 (71 ) 22 Prior service cost — — — 1 Net periodic other postretirement cost $ 121 $ 157 $ 363 $ 473 Contributions paid $ 451 $ 632 $ 1,379 $ 1,610 The components of net periodic other postretirement benefit costs other than the service cost and interest cost components are included in the line item “Other (income) expense, net”, and the interest cost component is included in the line item “Interest expense” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The amount of cash contributions made to these plans in any year is dependent upon a number of factors, including minimum funding requirements in the jurisdictions in which Woodward operates and arrangements made with trustees of certain foreign plans. As a result, the actual funding in fiscal year 2022 may differ from the current estimate. Woodward estimates its remaining cash contributions in fiscal year 2022 will be as follows: Retirement pension benefits: United States $ — United Kingdom 332 Japan — Germany 201 Other postretirement benefits 1,420 |

Stockholders’ equity Stock repurchase program In November 2019, the Woodward board of directors (the “Board”) had authorized a program for the repurchase of up to $500,000 of Woodward’s outstanding shares of common stock on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions over a three-year In January 2022, the Board terminated the 2019 Authorization and concurrently authorized a new program for the repurchase of up to $800,000 of Woodward’s outstanding shares of common stock on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions over a two-year period ending in January 2024 (the “2022 Authorization”). During the first nine-months of fiscal year 2022, Woodward repurchased 3,441 shares of its common stock for $400,975 under the 2022 Authorization. Stock-based compensation Provisions governing outstanding stock option awards are included in the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the “2017 Plan”) and the 2006 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”), as applicable. The 2017 Plan was first approved by Woodward’s stockholders in January 2017 and is the successor plan to the 2006 Plan. As of September 14, 2016, the effective date of the 2017 Plan, the Board delegated authority to administer the 2017 Plan to the Compensation Committee of the Board, including, but not limited to, the power to determine the recipients of awards and the terms of those awards. On January 27, 2021 and January 26, 2022, Woodward’s stockholders approved an additional 1,500 and 800 shares, respectively, of Woodward’s common stock to be made available for future grants. Under the 2017 Plan, there were approximately 2,933 shares of Woodward’s common stock available for future grants as of June 30, 2022 and 2,714 shares as of September 30, 2021. Stock options Woodward believes that stock options align the interests of its employees and directors with the interests of its stockholders. Stock option awards are granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of Woodward’s stock at the date the grants are awarded, a ten-year four-year The fair value of options granted is estimated as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-valuation model using the assumptions in the following table. Woodward calculates the expected term, which represents the average period of time that stock options granted are expected to be outstanding, based upon historical experience of plan participants. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility using daily stock price observations. The estimated dividend yield is based upon Woodward’s historical dividend practice and the market value of its common stock. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. treasury yield curve, for periods within the contractual life of the stock option, at the time of grant. The following is a summary of the activity for stock option awards: Three-Months Ended June 30, 2022 Nine-Months Ended June 30, 2022 Number of options Weighted-Average Exercise Price per Share Number of options Weighted-Average Exercise Price per Share Options, beginning balance 5,352 $ 73.71 5,339 $ 68.21 Options granted 72 101.54 513 115.30 Options exercised (18 ) 43.90 (422 ) 48.02 Options forfeited (10 ) 90.16 (34 ) 88.88 Options, ending balance 5,396 $ 74.15 5,396 $ 74.15 Changes in non-vested stock options were as follows: Three-Months Ended June 30, 2022 Nine-Months Ended June 30, 2022 Number of options Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value per Share Number of options Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share Non-vested options outstanding, beginning balance 1,767 $ 29.64 2,063 $ 25.77 Options granted 72 39.34 513 41.78 Options vested (1 ) 26.37 (714 ) 26.23 Options forfeited (10 ) 30.02 (34 ) 29.45 Non-vested options outstanding, ending balance 1,828 $ 30.02 1,828 $ 30.02 Information about stock options that have vested, or are expected to vest, and are exercisable at June 30, 2022 was as follows: Number of options Weighted-Average Exercise Price Weighted-Average Remaining Life in Years Aggregate Intrinsic Value Options outstanding 5,396 $ 74.15 5.8 118,422 Options vested and exercisable 3,569 65.45 4.7 100,271 Options vested and expected to vest 5,333 73.87 5.8 117,969 Restricted Stock During the three-months ended June 30, 2022, Woodward granted 48,156 restricted stock units (RSU) under its long-term incentive program as part of recent recruiting activities. The RSUs granted under this program have a weighted-average exercise price of $99.72 per unit and are generally scheduled to vest on the third or fourth anniversary of the respective grant dates, subject to continued employment. Stock-based compensation expense Woodward recognizes stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Pursuant to form stock option agreements used by the Company, with terms approved by the administrator of the applicable plan, the requisite service period can be less than the four-year vesting period based on grantee’s retirement eligibility. As such, the recognition of stock-based compensation expense associated with some stock option grants can be accelerated to a period of less than four years, including immediate recognition of stock-based compensation expense on the date of grant. At June 30, 2022, there was approximately $18,764 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock-based compensation arrangements, including both stock options and restricted stock awards. The pre-vesting forfeiture rates for purposes of determining stock-based compensation expense recognized were estimated to be 0% for members of the Board and 7.3% for all others. The remaining unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.0 years. |

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Note 21. Commitments and contingencies Woodward is currently involved in claims, pending or threatened litigation or other legal proceedings, investigations and/or regulatory proceedings arising in the normal course of business, including, among others, those relating to product liability claims, employment matters, worker’s compensation claims, contractual disputes, product warranty claims and alleged violations of various laws and regulations. Woodward accrues for known individual matters using estimates of the most likely amount of loss where it believes that it is probable the matter will result in a loss when ultimately resolved and such loss is reasonably estimable. Legal costs are expensed as incurred and are classified in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Woodward is partially self-insured in the United States for healthcare and worker’s compensation up to predetermined amounts, above which third party insurance applies. Management regularly reviews the probable outcome of related claims and proceedings, the expenses expected to be incurred, the availability and limits of the insurance coverage, and the established accruals for liabilities. While the outcome of pending claims, legal and regulatory proceedings, and investigations cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that any liabilities that may result from these claims, proceedings and investigations will not have a material effect on Woodward’s liquidity, financial condition, or results of operations. In the event of a change in control of Woodward, as defined in change-in-control agreements with its corporate officers, Woodward may be required to pay termination benefits to such officers. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment Information | Note 22. Segment information Woodward serves the aerospace and industrial markets through its two reportable segments – Aerospace and Industrial. When appropriate, Woodward’s reportable segments are aggregations of Woodward’s operating segments. Woodward uses operating segment information internally to manage its business, including the assessment of operating segment performance and decisions for the allocation of resources between operating segments. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those of the Company. Woodward evaluates segment profit or loss based on internal performance measures for each segment in a given period. In connection with that assessment, Woodward generally excludes matters such as certain charges for restructuring, interest income and expense, certain gains and losses from asset dispositions, or other non-recurring and/or non-operationally related expenses. A summary of consolidated net sales and earnings by segment follows: Three-Months Ended June 30, Nine-Months Ended June 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Segment external net sales: Aerospace $ 401,712 $ 340,912 $ 1,110,904 $ 1,027,285 Industrial 212,620 215,763 631,853 648,330 Total consolidated net sales $ 614,332 $ 556,675 $ 1,742,757 $ 1,675,615 Segment earnings: Aerospace $ 56,566 $ 53,167 $ 167,458 $ 168,641 Industrial 21,102 27,166 62,029 87,925 Nonsegment expenses (19,201 ) (13,546 ) (63,816 ) (47,331 ) Interest expense, net (8,180 ) (8,089 ) (23,542 ) (24,466 ) Consolidated earnings before income taxes $ 50,287 $ 58,698 $ 142,129 $ 184,769 Segment assets consist of accounts receivable; inventories; property, plant, and equipment, net; goodwill; and other intangibles, net.
