eVTOL Manufacturers Continue to Join the Fold of Honeywell Operators
Eve Air Mobility (Eve) selected Honeywell’s navigation, sensors and lighting systems for its upcoming VTOL aircraft.
The news isn't exactly surprising, given Eve's previous announcements regarding its selections for flight controls, thermal management, and avionics. Before, they confirmed that the Eve aircraft will sport a Garmin G3000 for its integrated flight deck, with Liebherr-Aerospace bringing the flight actuators, and Intergalactic providing the heating and cooling systems. Now, Honeywell will provide its expertise in 'critical navigation and motion-sensing data' to work nicely with the suite of onboard systems used.
Honeywell is quickly gaining ground in the eVTOL development market, thanks to its relatively broad spectrum of products in the aeronautical sphere. Navigational systems, sensor products, lighting, AHRS, GPS, and more can be found in their portfolio. Bringing them in during development should help companies in the midst of prototyping create a more refined, cohesive flight experience.
“Honeywell has decades of experience engineering and manufacturing high-performance navigation and sensor products for commercial, defense, industrial and space applications,” said David Shilliday, vice president and general manager, Advanced Air Mobility, Honeywell Aerospace Technologies. “These products are also critical to enabling the next generation of electric aircraft, and we’re excited to help build the future of aviation and advance Eve Air Mobility’s goal to make air travel more sustainable.”
