Honeywell Aerospace president and CEO Mike Madsen said: “UAM and UAS will play an increasing role in the future of aerospace, with potential applications in all-electric urban air taxi vehicles, hybrid-electric unmanned cargo drones, optionally piloted airplanes, delivery drones and everything in between.”
Set to further expand Honeywell’s growing portfolio of UAM solutions, the new business unit is focused on software development, driving rapid development and testing of new products.
These products include ‘fly-by-wire’ autopilot system, detect-and-avoid algorithms and artificial intelligence software.
UAS business unit vice-president and general manager Stéphane Fymat said: “By forming this new organisation, we will be able to harness the power of our engineering resources and know-how to transform urban air taxis, drone delivery of parcels and all forms of autonomous flight from a future vision into an everyday reality.”
