Honeywell is set to work with manufacturer of electric motors and power transmissions, Regal Rexnord, to develop technologies for the AAM market and installation on eVTOL aircraft.
The two companies will work together to develop technologies that integrate electro-mechanical components, systems and software on AAM aircraft.
Louis Pinkham, CEO of Regal Rexnord, said, “By leveraging our complementary skills and expertise, we will deliver exceptional value to our customers in the aerospace industry.
“This partnership also underscores our mutual commitment to sustainability and innovation, which are core values for both companies. By working together, we aim to develop advanced solutions that enhance performance while promoting a more sustainable future in aerospace.”
Dave Shilliday, Vice President and General Manager, Advanced Air Mobility, Honeywell Aerospace Technologies, added, “This alliance blends Honeywell’s flight control system integration and certification expertise with Regal Rexnord’s advanced, automated manufacturing expertise to accelerate entry-into-service to meet AAM demand.
“We are confident that this arrangement will be hugely beneficial to AAM companies that need guidance and support to achieve their certification and flight goals.”
The collaboration scope may include multiple manufacturing points in the value stream, including components manufacturing through final products’ assembly and test of Honeywell’s flight control actuation systems.
Additionally, a successful collaboration in this high-volume manufacturing arena could lead to other technology and product advancements, enabling future growth in additional aerospace products.
