Honeywell’s Boeing 757 test aircraft will be conducting demonstration flights in Singapore as part of its world tour. The international tour started on 17 February and will conclude on 2 March 2023, with the aircraft having visited South Korea, Japan, Philippines, Singapore, and Australia.
The Boeing 757 test aircraft will conduct demonstration flights for Honeywell customers and stakeholders in Singapore on 24 February 2023. The aircraft will be in Singapore for a day.
The flight demonstration will allow participants the opportunity to experience the Resilient Beyond Visual Line of Sight Communications (BVLOS) through Honeywell and Inmarsat’s SATCOM systems and software solutions. Honeywell will illustrate the significance of secure connectivity in a seamless, reliable, and secure environment through a simulated real-world mission scenario.
“Our beloved 757 flying testbed has been through a wide array of technological modifications over the past 17 years, that the only thing that turned 40 was likely the fuselage itself,” said Chief Test Pilot Joe Duval, Director, Flight Test Operations, Honeywell Aerospace. “The flight demonstrations in Singapore will provide an exclusive opportunity for participants to understand how seamless connectivity aids in enhancing our customers’ success.”
During the test flight, software and hardware solutions that will be spotlighted include:
· JetWave MCX – Honeywell’s Ka-Band SATCOM optimized for military missions.
· HSD 400 – Inmarsat SBB L-Band cockpit and cabin SATCOM (GEO network) with SPSC modem for L-Max capability
· Aspire 400 – Inmarsat SBB L-Band cockpit and cabin SATCOM (GEO network)
· Go Direct Router – holds Honeywell’s Enterprise Management & Console Software
Honeywell’s 757 test aircraft has undergone countless modifications over the years for testing purposes. The aircraft is equipped to test anything from turbine engines and mechanical systems to advanced avionics software and high-speed connectivity equipment.
Many of these technological advancements are found onboard commercial aircraft today.
The aircraft built in 1982 was the fifth ever 757 to be produced and entered into service in 1983, and was subsequently acquired by Honeywell in 2005 for research and development purposes.
Honeywell’s 757 aircraft has flown to more than 30 countries across five continents and conducted more than 800 flight demonstrations and clocked more than 3,000 flight test hours globally. Honeywell has no plans to retire the 757 test aircraft as of yet.
