Two weeks ago Honeywell opened a $35 million advanced aerospace systems integration laboratory designed to make next-generation aircraft, including medium and large business jets,  more efficient.  The unique 100,000-sq-ft facility is located in Mexicali, Mexico, and initially will employ 300 people, said Bob Smith, Honeywell vice president for advanced technology.

Smith noted that the lab’s work will include testing and integrating technologies that will reduce aircraft weight and fuel consumption while increasing reliability.
