Company description

Honeywell Airframe Systems, based in Mississauga, Ontario, is an acknowledged leader in the specialized fields of electric power conversion and distribution systems, electronic environmental control systems, sensors and controls for space systems, missile control actuation systems, ice protection/detection systems, emergency locator transmitters, and support services/repair & overhaul. With approximately 1,100 highly-skilled employees and 330,000 square feet of modern design, manufacturing, testing and support facilities, the company markets a diverse range of aerospace products and services. Over the last few years, Honeywell has recorded a number of major achievements. In the ECS business, Honeywell has designed and manufactured integrated environmental control systems on commercial and military aircraft such as the C-17A, MD-11, MD-90, B777, and F-22. Honeywell also supplies the regional and business jet market with equipment on the Lear 45, Hawker Horizon, and the new Dornier Do728JET. Each of these programs consists of complex, integrated subsystems, employing digital technology and providing for a significant level of cockpit automation to reduce flight crew workload. In its electric power business, Honeywell was selected to supply the power distribution system and the APU electric start system for the next generation B737-500/600/700 aircraft. Boeing rates Honeywell in the top five percent of all of its suppliers and in 1998 awarded Honeywell with its prestigious Supplier of the Year award. Representing a major achievement, Honeywell was also selected to design, build, test, install and certify the complete electric power generation and distribution system for the deHavilland DASH 8-400 aircraft. This was the first instance of any major OEM outsourcing complete system responsibility for the electric power system. Performance on this program contributed to the recent award of the electric power system for the new Agusta AB-139 helicopter. Honeywell is a supplier of products for space vehicles and applications including the electric power system on the X-33 demonstrator vehicle and a variety of sensors for the International Space Station.
