Honeywell avionics engineers have been busy developing new products for helicopters, primarily Leonardo’s AW139. The medium-twin helicopter’s Honeywell Epic avionics suite is now upgradeable to the latest standard—Phase 8—and operators soon will be able to add Honeywell’s RDR-7000 weather radar and the -036 enhanced ground proximity warning system (EGPWS) upgrade.
