Dassault Aviation has selected Honeywell’s Aspire 350 satcom system for continued deployment across its business jet lineup, with certifications now complete for Falcon 6Xs and 2000s. The Aspire 350 also will be available on the Falcon 8X this month, while the upcoming Falcon 10X will feature the system as a line-fit option. Honeywell is also developing supplemental type certificate solutions for aftermarket installations on Falcon 900s and 7Xs.
Providing dual functionality, the satcom system serves both cockpit operations and passenger connectivity requirements through the Iridium Certus satellite network. Honeywell recently achieved the first <a href="https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/business-aviation/2024-10-14/honeywell-secures-tso-nod-dual-aspire-satcom">FAA technical standard order approval</a> for a hybrid system offering integrated cockpit and cabin connectivity.
“We’re excited to work with Dassault to provide Falcon Jet operators with Aspire 350, which will enable high-speed, high-performance satcom capability for both flight crews and passengers,” said Steve Hadden, v-p and general manager of services and connectivity at Honeywell Aerospace Technologies.
For flight operations, the Aspire 350 enables real-time weather data, Future Air Navigation Systems datalink communications, and cockpit safety services. The system supports voice and data capabilities for pilots operating globally.
Passenger services include internet connectivity delivering up to 704 kilobits per second for email, messaging, conference calls, and web browsing applications. The system maintains consistent performance at cruise altitudes, providing office-level connectivity throughout flight operations.
