Every year, we celebrate World Space Week in October to honor scientists' contributions to space research and inspire the next generation of innovators. Honeywell has been a part of every NASA human space mission since the late 1950s, when our flight-control systems were installed on the X-15 Rocket Plane (shown above in a photo of Neil Armstrong after a research flight in November 1959).

We hold leading market positions in ammunition loading systems, aircraft hydraulic system testing, aircraft cabin pressure testing, power systems, environmental control systems, military trailers, high-pressure gas and liquid systems, flow measuring equipment, and integrated logistics and support services.

Our corporate, engineering and manufacturing facilities, located in Chatsworth, CA and Forsyth, GA, encompass over 625,000 sq. feet of production space. Our manufacturing facility is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment such as CNC lathes and mills, computerized tube bending, full sheet laser and waterjet, automatic press brake and programmable punch press, laser topography scanners, and other quality verification devices.

With advanced 3D printing, our turbine blades redefine manufacturing—delivering faster development, higher efficiency through superior quality, and innovative design freedom.

Tescan AMBER integrates BrightBeam™ field-free SEM optics with the Orage™ Ga⁺ FIB and fully automated lamella workflows. Designed for versatility, it supports inverted and planar sample prep, nanoprototyping, and gentle final polishing across a wide range of material types.

TESCAN SOLARIS X 2 extends FIB physical failure analysis capabilities to large-area applications, making deep cross-sectioning of advanced packaging devices, displays, MEMS, and optoelectronic devices more efficient. Featuring the new generation Mistral™ Xe Plasma FIB column, SOLARIS X 2 offers increased maximum ion beam current and a sharper ion beam profile across the full range, with significantly reduced beam tails. This allows operators to use higher milling and polishing currents, achieving superior surface quality comparable to conventional Plasma FIB, but with greater speed and precision.

Our XR-based aircraft maintenance simulator is officially certified by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MOLIT) of South Korea for training and education. It provides specialized training environments for the A321, B737-MAX, and B737-800NG aircraft, featuring over 80 detailed modules—including procedures for engine removal, main landing gear installation, and more. This subscription-based simulator is fully compatible with smartphones, tablets, and wearable XR devices, enabling seamless access through a cloud-based web service. Users can train anytime, anywhere—perfect for both remote learning and remote maintenance scenarios. Compared to traditional classroom learning, the XR platform is 4 times more effective and requires only one-third the training time. It also improves user confidence in real-world technical applications by up to 275%. By transforming traditional paper manuals into immersive, interactive training environments, the simulator delivers the next generation of aircraft MRO education for both civil and defense sectors.

AI Navigation Algorithm Certus features Advanced Navigation’s revolutionary AI neural network sensor fusion algorithm. It was designed for control applications and has a high level of health monitoring and instability prevention to ensure stable and reliable data. High-Performance MEMS Certus contains high performance MEMS sensors that are put through Advanced Navigation’s intensive 8 hour temperature calibration process. This provides the highest accuracy possible from this sensor class and outputs consistent accuracy over the full temperature range from -40°C to 85°C. Dual Antenna RTK GNSS Certus contains a dual frequency RTK GNSS receiver that provides up to 1 cm accuracy positioning and supports all of the current and future satellite navigation systems, including GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, BeiDou and QZSS. Dual antenna heading provides high accuracy heading that is not impacted by magnetic interference and has no motion requirements. Time Synchronization Certus contains a GNSS disciplined oscillator that can act as the primary time source within a distributed time system, enabling access to ultra-accurate system time using PTP or NTP network time sync. Certus also has a high-accuracy 1PPS and frequency output. Multi-Protocol Support Certus features multiple interfaces including Ethernet, CAN, RS232, RS422 and GPIOs. Certus supports all the industry standard protocols including NMEA 0183, NMEA 2000, TSS, PASHR, Simrad as well as a wide variety of proprietary protocols. It features a rich web UI and 256GB of internal logging.
