Archer selects Honeywell actuation and thermal systems
Archer selected Honeywell flight-control actuation and thermal-management technology for its production aircraft.
Evidence notes
- Honeywell will supply flight-control actuation technology that Archer described as a key enabler of its 12-tilt-6 aircraft configuration.
- Honeywell actuators can accept hundreds of micro-adjustments and commands per second from fly-by-wire computers for precise navigation.
- Archer also selected Honeywell's MicroVCS thermal-management system for its lower weight, efficiency and reliability in the relevant size and power class.
