Honeywell To Offer Cockpit Avionics For United Airlines Fleet
Zacks Investment Research | Jan 18, 2018 08:55PM ET
Honeywell International Inc. (NYSE:HON) has announced that it will provide United Airlines with key cockpit avionics for more than 150 Boeing (NYSE:BA) 737 MAX aircraft. The delivery of these technologies will take place in April 2018.
Honeywell's SmartRunway and SmartLanding software will be included as part of the deal. These are expected to greatly decrease the risk of long landings, hard landings, tail strikes and runway excursions, especially since majority of aviation accidents occur during aircraft approach and landing. Honeywell's IntuVue RDR-4000 3D Weather Radar System will also be included.
The first of its kind, IntuVue RDR-4000 with its superior technology to combat weather hazards, aims to help the aerospace industry and the U.S. economy save billions of dollars in annual expenses caused by weather related delays and cancellations. Integrated Multi-Mode Receiver, a fully digital navigation receiver is the industry’s only receiver to combine satellite-based and ground-based navigation systems into one. These technologies are expected to help increase passenger comfort and safety.
By providing these technologies Honeywell will help United Airlines meet the upcoming Federal Aviation Administration regulations.
Honeywell's Aerospace unit develops innovative technologies designed to make aircraft safer and more fuel-efficient. Currently, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues from the Aerospace unit for fourth-quarter 2017 is $3,873 million, which is relatively higher than the year-ago figure of $3,666 million. The increase in revenues can be attributed to a recent increase in demand of Aerospace’s products and services by aircraft manufacturers, airlines and the U.S. military.
Since revenues from the Aerospace business constitute the majority of total revenues for the company, this can spell good news for its profitability. Shares of the company have outperformed the Zacks Investment Research
