Honeywell

Honeywell, one of the world's leading aerospace avionics companies, is developing the aircraft control system, flight deck technologies and pilot user interface for the VA-X4. These next generation flight controls will dramatically reduce pilot workload. Honeywell is drawing on its 100-years of experience, including developing the major systems for the F-35 – a supersonic VTOL fighter jet – as well as many other aircraft. Honeywell is also an investor in Vertical

“Honeywell Aerospace is proud to be working with Vertical Aerospace on a number of critical subsystems. The VA-X4 vehicle and operations concept is very well aligned to both the Urban Air Mobility market needs and our industrial capabilities.”
