Shaping The Future Of Cargo UAVs
IN THIS TOGETHER
Your Challenges Are Our Challenges
Safety
Safety during flight will be top priority with more congested skies, and require enhanced autonomy and detect-and-avoid systems.
Efficiency
Middle-mile shipping and other applications require greater range and smarter operational networks.
Acceptance
Noise, cost and certification: winning acceptance from regulators, customers and communities will be critical.
THE FUTURE IS NOW
Ready to Fly
Pipistrel
Honeywell provides the fly-by-wire system, navigation sensors and satellite communications system for the Pipistrel Nuuva cargo UAV.
General Atomics
Honeywell's navigation systems and TPE-331 engine have made the MQ-9 Reaper, also known as the Predator B, the most successful military unmanned aircraft in history.
Boeing
Honeywell technology flies aboard the MQ-25, an unmanned, carrier-based aircraft designed to perform aerial refueling missions.
Kaman Aerospace
Honeywell's mighty T-53 engine powers the K-MAX Unmanned Aircraft System, a variant of the K-MAX heavy-lift helicopter.
Avionics for Heavy-Lift UAVs
FLY-BY-WIRE
Honeywell’s fly-by-wire computers and navigation systems simplify flight and offer aircraft manufacturers more flexibility while meeting the highest safety standards in the industry.
Detect & Avoid
Honeywell’s detect and avoid tech integrates the IntuVue RDR-84K Band Radar and other sensors to provide traffic avoidance, obstacle detection, terrain mapping, weather imaging, landing guidance and other functions.
Connectivity
Honeywell’s advanced data communications deliver internet, weather, flight management and prescriptive maintenance to improve the flying experience and ensure safe and efficient UAM flight.
Actuation
Honeywell's electromechanical actuators are built to handle the unique stresses of low-level, urban flight and the vibrations of multi-rotor designs.
Propulsion for Heavy-Lift UAVs
Integrated Propulsion
Honeywell’s electric and hybrid-electric powertrains combine motors, controllers, generators and cooling to make aviation safer, quieter and cleaner.
Cooling Systems
Honeywell’s Micro Vapor Cycle System (VCS) uses advanced technology to keep cabins, electronic components and batteries cool. Our oil-free systems are lighter and virtually maintenance-free.
Certification
Honeywell’s expertise as a development partner provides UAM builders with the certification experience to develop new applications, products and aircraft programs that meet fast-changing standards.
