Designing, Enabling the Future of Flight (Part 2)

Q: How is Honeywell Aerospace shaping the future of flight?

A: Honeywell Aerospace’s solutions are virtually found in every commercial and defense aircraft in the world. The company develops several products, from aircraft engines and auxiliary power units to cockpit avionics,cabin electronics, mechanical systems and connected solutions, among others.

Our innovations lead to more efficient aircraft, lower maintenance costs, improved flight planning and traffic management and, eventually, more efficient airports and sustainable flights. Honeywell provides customers with an extensive technical support network. We have a comprehensive presence in the market and the company is also pushing further innovation, such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and autonomous flight.

Q: How do Honeywell’s solutions help airlines to maximize fleet safety and optimize operational efficiency?

A: Honeywell provides airlines and cargo operators with solutions for flight efficiency. We base our solutions on data analytics to support customers with precise data that helps them reduce fuel consumption, lower carbon emissions, and make intelligent maintenance decisions to keep their fleets operating. Connected and predictive maintenance plays an increasingly important role within today’s aviation industry. Our connectivity solutions help our customers to improve their operations, and to remain profitable and competitive in a challenging market. More than 3,000 aircraft use Honeywell Forge Flight Efficiency globally.

Q: How is Honeywell innovating to move urban transportation from the road to the air?

A: Urban air mobility (UAM) remains a large challenge, but Honeywell Aerospace is fully on board and innovating to make it a reality. On top of the existing platforms, Honeywell is investing to develop new technologies for this market, which is new for everyone. UAM is a megatrend; while we do not know exactly when it will arrive, we are certain that it will become a reality.

Honeywell is a leading supplier in UAM technology. We already offer a wide range of technologies and solutions to help our customers to generate more sustainable aviation.. In addition, Honeywell has established strategic partnerships -to develop electric and hybrid-electric propulsion systems. Electrification will play an essential role in UAM, from propulsion systems to the entire aircraft. Finally, safety will play another key role in the success of electric and autonomous flight.

Q: How is Honeywell Aerospace leading the industry’s path to carbon neutrality?

A: Honeywell invests heavily in sustainable solutions. The aviation industry has pledged to be carbon neutral by 2050. Honeywell will be carbon neutral by 2035. This is not just a commitment; it is a robust plan to achieve carbon neutrality 15 years before the industry does. Sustainability will remain among our key strategies for the coming years.
