 Welcome to the first issue of AeroTech Magazine, the industry’s premier print and online magazine for advanced techniques in integrated avionics, engines, systems and service solutions for aircraft manufacturers, airlines, business and general aviation, military, space and airport operations.
After nearly a century of pushing the limits of technological advancement in aerospace achievement, we at Honeywell Aerospace believe it is time to share our intellectual wealth. This magazine is aimed at doing just that. We are tapping into the resources and information that we gather daily in this industry and sharing the best of what we’re learning with you. Along the way we will show you how we are working to the push the limits of technological advancement for our customers today and tomorrow—helping make flight safer, more reliable and more cost-effective.
The focus of AeroTech Magazine is simple. This publication is aimed at bringing you solutions from the brightest minds inside the aerospace industry to help you address the key issues you’re facing. You can anticipate new insight and ideas in each issue to address the issues you face every day.
In our inaugural issue, AeroTech Magazine focuses on the future of More Electric Architecture, or MEA, one of Honeywell’s most advanced design concepts for building the aircraft of the future. You will learn about the implications this breakthrough technology has on the future of the industry, the benefits of MEA, and how new commercial and military aircraft designs are already changing because of MEA technology.
Also in this issue, we’ll take a closer look in the Tech Spotlight at the future of Chip Scale Atomic Clocks, a project DARPA and Honeywell Labs are working on that could eventually be used for secure wireless communications, more precise navigation and a number of applications. You will also learn more about the lives of Federal Air Marshals and how innovations in their communication systems are revolutionizing conventional investigative information sharing. And if aircraft safety is one of your concerns, you’ll want to read more about future technologies that are improving On-Board Oxygen Generating Systems, or OBOGS. Also in the issue, don’t miss the article about DARPA’s and Honeywell Labs’ latest innovation, Universal Constraint Language and Engine, or UNCLE, and how it is being used to simplify the construction of dynamic systems of systems.
Be sure to also read about some of Honeywell Aerospace’s latest announcements in the News Briefs section, and check out InFocus for more interesting information about Honeywell people, products and technologies. The On-Board section is also of interest, highlighting specific information about Honeywell technologies on various airframe platforms.
And don’t miss Aero Achievements, featuring historical technology advancements of the past.
We hope you find AeroTech Magazine a valuable and engaging read. If you prefer your news online, be sure to visit us at aeroengineer.honeywell.com or visit the Honeywell Aerospace Web site. We encourage your comments and feedback about the publication.
