ISTANBUL, July 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- Honeywell Aerospace (NYSE: HON) has signed a
contract with Turkish airline SunExpress to supply the company's
latest cockpit technologies for its first delivery of newly
purchased Boeing 737-800 airplanes.
Honeywell will provide SunExpress with cockpit avionics,
including the IntuVue 3-D Weather Radar and the SmartTraffic
Traffic Collision Avoidance System. With these technologies,
SunExpress will be able to increase operational efficiency and
maintain compliance with current and future industry safety
regulations.
"With this agreement SunExpress will equip new Boeing 737s with
some of the industry's most advanced and capable avionics
technologies available," said Aileen
McDowall, vice president, Airlines, EMEAI, Honeywell
Aerospace. "SunExpress is the latest successful low-cost airline to
invest in Honeywell's avionics technologies to drive down costs
while maximizing passenger safety and comfort."
Honeywell has seen high demand for its cockpit avionics products
in 2015. Other low-cost operators, including IndiGo and Southwest
Airlines, have recently chosen Honeywell to provide safety and
efficiency technologies for their new airplane fleets.
Honeywell Cockpit Technology
The full suite of Honeywell cockpit technology aboard
SunExpress' new Boeing 737 fleet will include:
- Quantum Line communication and navigation sensors are
Honeywell's proven range of communication and navigation radios.
The suite reduces weight, offers improved reliability, and features
Honeywell's latest radio altimeter with digital processing
technology, a completely new very-high-frequency data radio, and
the company's next-generation integrated multimode receiver.
- IntuVue RDR-4000 3-D Weather Radar is the first and only
automatic commercial radar to present 3-D global weather data over
land and water, providing turbulence detection up to 60 nautical
miles ahead, predicting hail and lightning weather events, and
differentiating and displaying on-path and off-path weather.
IntuVue gives pilots a more accurate and holistic view of weather
patterns sooner, so they can make turbulence avoidance decisions
quicker for improved safety, passenger comfort and fuel
efficiency.
- SmartTraffic (Traffic Collision Avoidance System)
provides the industry's longest-range surveillance capability, plus
Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) In
functionality. SmartTraffic coupled with ADS-B is an advanced
hybrid system that offers pilots unparalleled access to traffic
information. Compliant with the latest Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) regulatory Change 7.1 requirements, it
improves safety and pilot responses to potential airborne traffic
conflicts. The SmartTraffic system includes Honeywell's
next-generation transponder to meet FAA NextGen requirements.
- Mode S Transponder broadcasts information to other
airplanes and air traffic control about speed and position, and is
also compliant with all current and anticipated ADS-B Out mandates
worldwide.
- Flight Data and Cockpit Voice Recorders store mandatory
voice and data information from an airplane's most recent flight
activity. This will be Honeywell's fifth-generation solid state
Flight Data Recorder and Cockpit Voice Recorder.
- Flight Data Acquisition and Management
(FDAMS) combines the mandatory Digital Flight Data
Acquisition Unit database functions with the reconfigurable
Avionics Control and Management System capability. The primary
functions include Digital Flight Data Acquisition, PC-Card Data
Recording, Aircraft Condition Monitoring and Reporting, and
Wireless Data Download. The onboard processing capability of the
FDAMS allows real-time access to airplane data for event detection
and reporting.
- Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System
is the air-ground data link necessary for global communication of
vital information, such as Airline Operational Communication and
air traffic control messages for commercial airlines.
