The tech company expands on its 2018 deal with United for the supply of its radar and weather technology for the airline’s 737 MAXs.
Technology company Honeywell has signed a deal with United Airlines to supply a suite of avionics tech for the company’s incoming Boeing 737 MAX aircraft over the next ten years.
The US company will supply five technologies for the planes, including a 3D weather radar and ‘intuitive’ display for pilots, a 25-hour flight data recorder, and a radar altimeter to assist instrument landings and filter out 5G interference.
Heath Patrick, president of Americas aftermarket for Honeywell Aerospace Technologies, said: “We are proud to continue our long-standing relationship with United Airlines to provide advanced avionics for its growing 737 MAX fleet.
“Our technology reduces pilot workload, improves situational awareness and supports dispatch reliability.”
The agreement continues United’s use of Honeywell avionics in its 737 MAX fleet after the airline signed a similar deal with the supplier in 2018.
Other equipment to be supplied under the latest order includes an integrated multi-mode receiver, which provides “pinpoint precise” aeroplane location for efficient landings, and a traffic and collision avoidance system, which identifies a plane to surrounding aircraft.
