DUBAI AIRSHOW 2023: Honeywell’s AAM Business “Now Attracted Astonishing USD10 Billion” to Assist Building Future of Sustainable Flight

Hon­ey­well, a glob­al leader in aero­space inno­va­tion, has announced its Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty (AAM) busi­ness unit has secured con­tracts worth over USD10 bil­lion, reports a press release. This is an aston­ish­ing finan­cial amount giv­en the unit was estab­lished only three years ago. Dur­ing this time, Hon­ey­well has devel­oped vital part­ner­ships with indus­try lead­ers such as Archer, Lil­i­um, Pip­istrel, Super­nal and Ver­ti­cal Aero­space. 

David Shill­i­day, VP and Gen­er­al Man­ag­er of Hon­ey­well Aero­space AAM, com­ment­ed, “This mile­stone is not just about reach­ing a cer­tain num­ber, it’s a tes­ta­ment to the unwa­ver­ing vision we hold for the future of avi­a­tion and Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty.”

He con­tin­ued, “Imag­ine a world where a 100-mile jour­ney takes 45 min­utes or less, and same-day pack­age deliv­ery is pos­si­ble in every pop­u­lat­ed region of the world. We are com­mit­ted to trans­form­ing trav­el and deliv­ery ser­vices and with the help of our part­ners, we’re mak­ing that vision a real­i­ty.”

The release states, “Honeywell’s com­pre­hen­sive prod­uct port­fo­lio of ready-now solu­tions has been the cor­ner­stone of its suc­cess­ful entry in the AAM mar­ket. The offer­ings, based on gen­er­a­tions of expe­ri­ence across all sec­tors of aero­space, act as the brains, mus­cles and sens­es of the air­craft.” 

: Hon­ey­well Anthem, a next-gen­er­a­tion avion­ics sys­tem, serves as the “brain” behind intu­itive cock­pit oper­a­tions. 

: Honeywell’s fly-by-wire solu­tions and cus­tom-built actu­a­tion sys­tems func­tion as the “mus­cles,” pro­vid­ing pre­cise flight con­trols and the nec­es­sary redun­dan­cy for these advanced vehi­cles. 

: The company’s diverse range of sen­sors such as RDR-84K radar and AH2000 atti­tude head­ing ref­er­ence sys­tem adds the “sens­es,” mak­ing these air­craft not just smart but also aware of their envi­ron­ment. 

Yves Yem­si, COO of Lil­i­um and a Hon­ey­well AAM part­ner, remarked “Honeywell’s nose-to-tail tech­nol­o­gy is a game-chang­er, set­ting the stan­dard for safe­ty and sus­tain­abil­i­ty, while pro­vid­ing an unprece­dent­ed user expe­ri­ence for our pilots.”

Through ini­tia­tives like host­ing indus­try sum­mits in Wash­ing­ton, D.C., Hon­ey­well is also pri­ori­tis­ing the long-term growth of the AAM indus­try by bring­ing togeth­er reg­u­la­tors, orig­i­nal equip­ment man­u­fac­tur­ers and mem­bers of Con­gress to cre­ate impor­tant dia­logue and action.

Jim Cur­ri­er, Pres­i­dent and CEO of Hon­ey­well Aero­space, said, “As we cel­e­brate this finan­cial mile­stone, we’re look­ing toward the future. We’re eager to col­lab­o­rate with com­pa­nies that share our vision to trans­form the way we trav­el and cre­ate a more sus­tain­able future for avi­a­tion.”

The foot­print of Honeywell’s AAM busi­ness spans North Amer­i­ca, West­ern Europe and India, where its prod­ucts and ser­vices are found on vir­tu­al­ly every com­mer­cial, defence and space air­craft.
