Suite of advanced avionics includes 3D weather
radar, flight recorders and advanced safety systems
FARNBOROUGH, England, July 22,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Honeywell (NASDAQ:
HON) has been selected by United Airlines to provide a wide
range of avionics for new 737 MAX aircraft that will enter service
over the next decade, including technologies such as the industry's
only 3D weather radar, new 25-hour flight data recorders and
advanced traffic avoidance systems.
United Airlines first selected a similar suite of Honeywell
avionics in 2018 to equip 161 737 MAX aircraft, and this latest
agreement builds on Honeywell's reliability in delivering
world-class aerospace technology.
"We are proud to continue our long-standing relationship with
United Airlines to provide advanced avionics for its growing 737
MAX fleet," said Heath Patrick,
President, Americas Aftermarket, Honeywell Aerospace Technologies.
"Our technology reduces pilot workload, improves situational
awareness and supports dispatch reliability."
United Airlines selected the following Honeywell cockpit
technologies for its 737 MAX fleet:
- IntuVue RDR-4000 3D Weather Radar System is the
first automatic commercial radar to accurately depict weather in
the flight path of an airplane. IntuVue automatically scans the sky
at 17 tilt angles — the most in the industry — and delivers a 3D
view of the weather through an intuitive display that pilots can
quickly and easily reference.
- Honeywell Connected Recorder – 25 is made for commercial
air transport aircraft to accommodate mandatory flight data and
cockpit voice recording. It may result in the potential for better
maintenance predictability and operational insight through data
analytics.
- Honeywell's TPA100B Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance
System and TRA 100B
Transponders identify the aircraft to other surrounding
aircraft via an airborne collision avoidance system.
- Integrated Multi-Mode Receiver is the industry's
leader in radio navigation and combines satellite- and ground-based
navigation systems into one receiver. It helps pinpoint precise
airplane locations for efficient landings, especially during
difficult and new runway approaches.
- The ALA-52B radar altimeter assists instrument
landings at hundreds of U.S. airports and filters out 5G broadband
interference.
