Honeywell Tech Is Driving the UAM Revolution
Since Honeywell launched its new UAS/UAM division in 2020, it has won more than $7 billion in contract awards from advanced air mobility OEMs.

It’s been three years since Honeywell Aerospace took a leap into the advanced air mobility market with the launch of a new division dedicated entirely to uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) and urban air mobility (UAM). Since its inception, the new division has raked in more than $7 billion in contracts from aircraft manufacturers looking to incorporate Honeywell's technologies into their new products. 

Honeywell (Booths D31 and F72) will be supplying key components for a number of new aircraft, including eVTOL air taxis and cargo drones. For example, it will provide the actuation system and thermal management system for Archer Aviation’s four-passenger Midnight eVTOL air taxi and the electric propulsion system for Lilium’s (Booth D32) seven-passenger Lilium Jet eVTOL aircraft.
