United Technologies Is Looking Good in 2013

Responding to big promises from Boeing and Airbus, about a big market for commercial airplanes over the next few decades, United Technologies has bought Goodrich... but sold both off Pratt & Whitney Power Systems, and UTC Power as well, saying it wants to focus on its "core aerospace and commercial businesses." It gets a Fool to wondering -- is United Tech up to something?
