United Airlines Chooses Avionics For New 737 MAX

The Carrier Furthers Its Relationship With Honeywell Technologies

United Airlines’ new additions to the existing Boeing 737 MAX fleet are expected to enter service within the next decade. The carrier was on the lookout for an avionics suite, and found the answer in Honeywell Aerospace Technologies.

Honeywell was founded over a century ago and is headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina. It produces a wide range of sustainable aerospace, healthcare, and energy technologies. The aerospace industry, however, is the company’s primary motivation, having generated about 37% of its $36.6 billion in full-year revenues.

Honeywell produces engines, cockpit and cabin electronics, mechanical components, and wireless connectivity systems. Its industry applications are immense, having been aboard every NASA space mission to date and being used daily by 140,000 commercial and military aircraft.

United Airlines and Honeywell have been in a committed relationship for several years. In 2018, United employed Honeywell’s technology into 161 of its 737 MAX aircraft. This latest agreement uses a similar suite, with a few new additions.

The commercial carrier selected several Honeywell technologies for the new fleet. This includes their IntuVue RDR-4000 3D weather radar system, which scans the surrounding air from 17 tilt angles. It delivers a 3D view of current weather conditions, allowing easy referencing and visualization. They will also be equipping Honeywell’s TPA100B Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System/TRA 100B Transponders, Integrated Multi-Mode Receiver, ALA-52B radar altimeter, and Connecter Recorder-25.

Heath Patrick, president of Honeywell Aerospace Technologies' Americas Aftermarket business, comments: "We are proud to continue our long-standing relationship with United Airlines to provide advanced avionics for its growing 737 MAX fleet. Our technology reduces pilot workload, improves situational awareness and supports dispatch reliability."
