Electric aircraft maker Pipistrel has chosen Honeywell Aerospace’s Attitude Heading Reference System and Air Data Module for its Nuuva V300 cargo unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), the companies said Thursday. The technologies provide navigation and motion-sensing data and will work in tandem with Honeywell’s compact fly-by-wire system, which Pipistrel chose for the V300 last October. 

The Attitude Heading Reference System (AH-2000) and Air Data Module (ADM) supply critical motion data to all avionics systems and many mechanical systems, explained Honeywell in a statement. Both the AH-2000 and ADM can serve several flight applications, including urban air mobility vehicles, commercial aircraft, business jets, and helicopters.
