Improving Runway Safety in America

Position and timing signals from global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) have become the primary source of navigation for vehicles across air, land and sea. But how do pilots or unmanned systems navigate when GNSS signals aren’t available?

GNSS has seen a significant increase in intentional and unintentional disruptions including jamming and spoofing. In this podcast navigation experts Ben Mohr and Mohan Jacob discussing two suites of Honeywell offerings Alternative Navigation and Resilient Navigation aimed to help manned and unmanned aircraft operate when navigation is denied or unavailable. 

They answer questions like “what are the most common types of denied environments” and “Why, how we stay ahead of this.”

Building on decades of leadership in inertial navigation systems for all kinds of aircraft and spacecraft, Honeywell engineers have made enormous progress in alternative navigation, aided by evolutionary advancements in sensors and other enabling technologies. Honeywell was one of the first companies to successfully demonstrate alternative navigation technologies in a GPS-denied environments.

In this podcast we touch on the issue and how best to tackle it.

The number of serious runway safety incidents at U.S. airports has increased over the past year – putting thousands of lives at risk. There were more than 50 serious runway incidents in 2023, clearly demonstrating that America's approach to runway safety is insufficient and under enormous stress.

In the latest episode of Aerospace Unplugged, Honeywell Aerospace Technologies President & CEO Jim Currier discusses new technology to address runway safety and why the flying public is calling on Congress, the FAA, and the aviation industry to address this alarming trend.

This is a timely podcast episode you won't want to miss.

On this episode of Aerospace Unplugged, we will be taking a dive into BendixKing Honeywell product line and two pilots who frequently use these products. You will hear what two different generations have to say about these avionics, and how BendixKing is thinking of the future. Join us as this conversation is sure to deliver a riveting adventure over the Brazilian forest. 

On this episode of Aerospace Unplugged, we'll be talking about the future of aviation propulsion. Now it's no secret that the aviation sector has a reputation for its carbon emissions, but what few realize is that there are some amazing technologies on the horizon that will make a big impact in lowering those emissions. Our guests on this episode are Phil Robinson and Taylor Alberstadt. Phil works closely with hydrogen fuel cells, and Taylor is focused on electric and hybrid-electric propulsion.

On this episode of Aerospace Unplugged, we'll be talking to an orthopedic surgeon who found his way into aviation in the most unusual way. It's a fascinating story that was brought to light during the early stages of the pandemic, but the work of our guest, Dr. Arthur Kreitenberg dates back much further than that. Dr. K is the inventor of what is now called the Honeywell UV Treatment System. It's a device designed to roll up and down in an aircraft aisle and use UV light to treat surfaces on an airplane on the light that's emitted from that device is highly effective in eliminating pathogens and viruses. Dr. Kreitenberg, who is both an orthopedic surgeon and an engineer originally called this product, the Germ Falcon before his company Dimer, partnered up with Honeywell in 2020 to take his vision to a wider audience. This technology is now being used by airlines and aircraft operators around the world, but it was a heck of a journey for Arthur to get to this point.

On this episode of Aerospace Unplugged, we're going to talk to the editor-in-chief of Aviation Consumer magazine, Larry Anglisano and the product line director for Honeywell Anthem, Jason Bialek. Larry has worked as an avionics technician and a test flight pilot and writes for several top aviation publications. He's going to tell us his views on the new Honeywell Anthem integrated flight deck. Jason has put in a lot of time working on the development of this integrated cockpit system over the past few years and especially over the past few months as this has gone out into the world.
