Automation Today, Autonomy Next
Modern aircraft are automated, but autonomy is the leap that delivers smarter, faster and safer flight.
With rising operational costs, crew shortages and growing safety mandates, autonomy helps regional and cargo operators meet these challenges head-on.
Honeywell delivers advanced systems that reduce pilot workload, improving both the safety and efficiency of aircraft operations. From the flight deck to predictive maintenance, we’re helping operators modernize legacy fleets and accelerate next-gen development with autonomy-first avionics, sensors and AI-powered software.
We Were There: Honeywell & Autonomy
For more than 100 years, Honeywell has led the way in autonomous flight, from the first autopilot to today’s connected cockpits.
Sperry Autopilot
In 1914, Lawrence Sperry’s autopilot demonstration pioneered hands-free flight and laid the foundation for modern flight control systems.
EGPWS
The Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS), invented by Honeywell engineer Don Bateman, has helped virtually eliminate controlled flight into terrain (CFIT) accidents in commercial aviation.
Honeywell Anthem
Honeywell Anthem is a connected flight deck designed to reduce pilot workload and enhance situational awareness in regional and cargo operations. Its scalable design fits both new and retrofit aircraft.
Solutions that Drive Autonomy
Explore solutions for every stage of autonomous flight - from enhanced situational awareness to real-time decision-making.
“Autonomy and deterministic AI will deliver transformative benefits for aviation. Innovation is driving technological advancements across the aviation spectrum as we address public acceptance for higher levels of autonomy, mitigate cyber threats and drive the release of practical certification and regulation models. In the end, autonomy is all about improving safety by reducing pilot workload.”
