Gulfstream is now the latest airframer to partner with Honeywell Aerospace on the certification of the JetWaveX in-flight connectivity system. Under the deal announced this week at NBAA-BACE, Honeywell will work with the Savannah, Georgia-based OEM to certify the Jetwave X platform—the successor to the manufacturer’s JetWave system—for the GIV, GV, G450, G550, G600, G650, and G700.

Bombardier and Dassault previously signed similar agreements with Honeywell, and the first installation of the Ka-band system is currently underway on Honeywell’sFalcon 900 demonstrator. “We just have to finish the STC now,” said Honeywell Aerospace president of services and connectivity Jason Wissink.
