Honeywell has been selected to supply its EASy Flight Deck avionics, auxiliary power unit (APU), Air Management System (AMS) and, with Parker Aerospace, the Hydraulic Power Generation system, for Dassault’s Falcon 7X business jet. The contract is valued at nearly $700 million over the life of the agreement.

Lynn Brubaker, vice president of Honeywell Commercial Aersopace, said: “Our continual investment in technologies and use of six sigma manufacturing processes allows us to meet the demanding needs customers like Dassault expect us to deliver.” Initially introduced as the Falcon FNX, the newly named Falcon 7X is a long-range business jet capable of 5,700 nautical miles non-stop, a maximum operating speed of .90 Mach and an altitude of 51,000 feet.

Meanwhile, Honeywell has also announced that it has delivered its 10,000 TFE731 turbofan engine. The engine was presented to Bombardier Aerospace, which will install the TFE731-20AR on a Learjet 45 super light business jet at its aircraft operation facility in Wichita, Kansas.

“The TFE731 was a landmark design in aviation, the first high-bypass fuel efficient engine for business aircraft that was not a derivative of a older military engine,” said Steve Loranger, president and ceo of Honeywell Aerospace’s engines, systems and services business. “The fuel efficient TFE doubled the range of existing business aircraft in the 1970s, and was the first production prop-ulsion engine to use an electronic engine control providing flight crew with precise power settings.”
