LAS VEGAS, Nov. 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Honeywell Aerospace
(NYSE: HON) will power the new Citation Longitude super mid-size
business jet from Cessna Aircraft Company, a subsidiary of Textron
Aviation Inc., a Textron Inc. company. Honeywell's newly
designed engine will provide Longitude operators with improved fuel
efficiency and reliability while reducing emissions and noise.
The Honeywell HTF7700L turbofan engine is the latest in
Honeywell's HTF7000 series, which has become the engine of choice
for virtually all super mid-size business jets. Having now
surpassed 2.4 million flight hours, the 7000 family boasts
class-leading reliability and low maintenance costs for an optimal
balance of performance and value. In addition to the engine,
Honeywell will supply Cessna with its 36-150 Auxiliary Power Unit
(APU) and advanced cockpit technologies to help increase safety for
pilots, passengers and flight support services.
The HTF7700L's periodic inspections and standard maintenance are
easily performed on-wing with new and easy-to-use standard hand
tools, reducing costly aircraft downtime. The engine is also
designed to be environmentally friendly, exceeding all standards of
the International Civil Aviation Organization's Committee on
Aviation Environmental Protection.
"Honeywell engines and auxiliary power units have been powering
business aviation for more than four decades. We are leaders in
efficiency, reliability and performance — and the HTF7700L is no
exception," said Brian Sill, president, Business and
General Aviation, Honeywell Aerospace. "Our new engine is perfect
for Cessna's new super mid-size business jet, providing the perfect
blend of power and efficiency for this burgeoning class of aircraft
while enabling a comfortable ride for passengers."
Honeywell's Mechanical, Navigation and Communication
Equipment
In addition to the Honeywell engine, the new Citation Longitude
aircraft will include the following Honeywell offerings:
- The 36-150 APU provides electric power for ground
operations such air conditioning, main engine ignition, compressed
air and other functions, and can provide backup power in flight.
The 36-150 APU is more compact and significantly lighter than other
APUs in its class. It eliminates dependence on ground power and
also provides substantial fuel savings by reducing the load on main
engines. It has proved to deliver excellent cabin heating and
cooling throughout a range of temperature extremes.
- LASEREF VI, Honeywell's latest generation inertial
navigation system, is offered as an option on the Citation
Longitude. It is designed to simplify pilot workload while
dramatically reducing installation time, weight, size, power and
cost. The LASEREF VI provides 100 percent availability for Required
Navigation Procedures for increased safety and efficiency.
- Honeywell's Primus HF-1050 radio provides improved
frequency strength and communication over longer distances compared
with current options. The Primus HF-1050 is essential for keeping
pilots in communication with ground crews and air traffic
controllers in support of long-range travel missions.
- Honeywell's Cabin Pressure Control and Monitoring System
(CPCMS) offers more precise cabin pressure control than previous
systems. The CPCMS controller is an all-electric unit that
interfaces with the integrated avionics computer to fully automate
cabin pressure control with no need for flight crew action during
normal operation. Its state-of-the-art digital design and proven
technology provide fast response times to maximize passenger
comfort.
- Honeywell's Environmental Control System provides proper
pressurization, thermal and moisture control. The Citation
Longitude features Honeywell's most advanced mid-size environment
control system, which is specially designed to meet the cabin
air-conditioning and pressurization needs of the business aircraft
marketplace and provide superior cabin comfort in even the most
demanding environments.
- Honeywell Global Data Center (GDC) provides
comprehensive flight support services to help operators fly more
efficiently, with access to Federal Aviation
Administration-certified aircraft dispatchers, weather planners and
commercial pilots to assist crews in all phases of flight. Access
to flight planning is available via telephone, the Internet,
datalink communications and the convenient MyGDC mobile app. The
Citation Longitude aircraft will come with a one-year subscription
to Honeywell GDC.
Honeywell is showcasing its complete line of business aviation
offerings at NBAA Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition,
Nov. 17−19, 2015, in Las Vegas in
booth C7807.
