Honeywell is at the forefront of shaping the connected ecosystem that will define advanced air mobility (AAM). As air taxis, uncrewed aircraft, and other next-generation platforms move toward commercial deployment, connectivity has become a cornerstone of safety, efficiency, and scalability.

The integration of AAM vehicles, many of which will operate autonomously or semi-autonomously, into already crowded, low-altitude airspace requires reliable, low-latency communication. Constant connectivity enables seamless interaction with traffic management systems, ground control, and other aircraft, ensuring safe navigation, real-time flight path updates, situational awareness, and scalable integration into existing air traffic networks. With thousands of new vehicles expected to enter service, interoperable connectivity will be critical to maintaining safety and building public trust.

Honeywell’s portfolio addresses the unique size, weight, and performance needs of AAM platforms. The Honeywell Anthem flight deck, the industry’s first cloud-native avionics system, enables continuous data exchange to streamline preflight preparation, enhance in-flight decision-making, and strengthen pilot-to-ground coordination. VersaWave, a lightweight satellite communications system weighing only 1 kilogram, delivers high-speed beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS) connectivity for smaller aircraft, including eVTOLs and drones.

Together, these technologies are paving the way for a fully connected AAM future, where autonomy and efficiency can scale safely across global airspace.
