Honeywell Aerospace (C3107) is bullish on civil vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft and electric engines, a theme that will manifest itself at Heli-Expo where the company will have on public display for the first time its hybrid-electric engine that will power the first generation of VTOL aircraft.
