United Airlines has selected Honeywell to provide avionics technology for 737 Max aircraft that will enter service over the next decade, including 3D weather radar, 25-hour flight data recorders and traffic avoidance systems.

United Airlines (www.united.com) first selected a similar suite of Honeywell avionics in 2018 to equip 161 737 Max aircraft, and this latest agreement builds on its reliability in delivering 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 of the Americas aftermarket at Honeywell Aerospace Technologies. “Our technology reduces pilot workload, improves situational awareness and supports dispatch reliability.”

The IntuVue RDR-4000 3D weather radar is the first automatic commercial radar to depict weather accurately in the flight path of an airplane. It 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.

The 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.

The integrated multi-mode receiver is for 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.

And the ALA-52B radar altimeter assists instrument landings at hundreds of US airports and filters out 5G broadband interference.

Products and services from Honeywell Aerospace Technologies (www.honeywell.com/us/en) are found on most commercial, defence and space aircraft. The business unit builds aircraft engines, cockpit and cabin electronics, wireless connectivity systems, mechanical components and more.
