Propulsion, APU & Air Management

Honeywell's Aerospace Advanced Technology organization conducts research and development to further enhance and grow propulsion technology and methodology.

Honeywell is a leading supplier of turbofan, turboprop and turboshaft propulsion engines for a variety of commercial and military applications. With more than 45 years of engine development expertise, 65,000 fielded propulsion systems and more than 241 million service hours, our engines have a history of proven performance, providing operators with innovative technology for higher performance, enhanced reliability and reduced cost of operations.

Advanced Technology developments in propulsion support both turbofan and turboshaft. Areas of focus include developing "Green" technologies that are more environmentally friendly for fuel burn reduction, emissions reduction and noise reduction, and developing technologies to improve power-to-weight ratio in advanced disk alloys, advanced turbine, aerodynamics, and cooling.

Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) projects involve developing:  Technologies that support the reduction of first cost and    life cycle costs.  Repair technologies for hot section components  "Green" technologies for noise and emissions reduction  Hybrid power generation approaches In the area of Air Management, research and development has recently focused on developing:  A 'more electric architecture' (MEA) system approach    that improves efficiencies.  Advanced heat exchangers that improve thermal    capacity.  Thermal management technologies
