Hi, and welcome to the Q2 2022 Textron earnings release conference call. [Operator instructions] As a reminder, today's conference is being recorded. I would now like to turn the conference over to Eric Salander, vice president of investor relations. Please go ahead.
Eric Salander -- Vice President, Investor Relations
Thanks, Brad, and good morning, everyone. Before we begin, I'd like to mention we will be discussing future estimates and expectations during our call today. These forward-looking statements are subject to various risk factors, which are detailed in our SEC filings, and also in today's press release. On the call, we have Scott Donnelly, Textron's chairman and CEO, and Frank Connor, our chief financial officer.
Our earnings call presentation can be found in the investor relations section of our website. Revenues in the quarter were $3.2 billion, essentially flat with last year's second quarter. Segment profit in the quarter was $303 million, up $14 million from the second quarter of 2021. During this year's second quarter, we reported net income of $1 per share compared to $0.81 per share in last year's second quarter.
Manufacturing cash flow before pension contributions totaled $309 million in the quarter, down $200 million from the second quarter of 2021. With that, I'll turn the call over to Scott.
Scott Donnelly -- Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Thanks, Eric, and good morning, everyone. Aviation had another solid quarter with higher revenues and strong execution, resulting in a 12.1% segment profit margin. We continue to see strong demand, solid pricing and increased deliveries for our citation jets, commercial turboprops and higher aftermarket volume from increased aircraft utilization. We delivered 48 jets, up from 44 last year; and 35 commercial turboprops, up from 33 in last year's second quarter.
Order activity was strong in the quarter, reflecting continued order momentum that generated $700 million of backlog growth, resulting in $5.8 billion of backlog at Aviation at the end of the second quarter. During the quarter, Aviation Defense business was awarded a $91 million contract for eight T-6 aircraft, spares and related support services to Tunisia. Also at Textron aviation defense earlier this week, the AT-6 Wolverine received military-type certification from the U.S. Air Force, paving the way for continued global sales of the light attack aircraft.
