Honeywell Prepares to Harvest the Fruit of Its Investment In Advanced Air Mobility

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

Honeywell 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 seven-passenger Lilium Jet eVTOL aircraft.
