Honeywell’s 757 Storm Chasing in Asia
Unlike the aircraft's past global tours, which have demonstrated its connectivity, this time it is gathering scientific weather data in a volatile region.

Honeywell’s Boeing 757 "Connected Aircraft" testbed is in Asia completing a three-week mission to collect crucial weather data. Unlike the "Power of Connected" World Tour last year, during which the aircraft visited more than a dozen countries in North America, Europe, and Asia and demonstrated the capabilities of the Connected Aircraft, this year’s deployment to Asia is primarily to collect vital scientific weather patterns and data over Southeast Asia.
