Honeywell Tapped for G150 Components
One likely beneficiary of Gulfstream's proposed G150
is Honeywell, which will supply several key systems for the new
jet.
Uprated TFE731-40 engines will power the jet, helping the G150
realize the promised takeoff, climb and cruise performance of
the wide-cabin aircraft. According to Gulfstream, long-range cruise
speed of the G150 will be Mach 0.75.
In addition to the powerplants, Honeywell will provide the auxiliary
power unit, cabin pressurization system, environmental control
system and interior and exterior lighting systems for the G150.
Also, G150s will be outfitted with Honeywell's Enhanced Ground
Proximity Warning System.
Commenting on the multi-system deal, Honeywell vp and general
manager for commercial aerospace, Lynn Brubaker, says, "Honeywell
has the technologies needed to deliver a diverse set of products
for this new aircraft," adding, "Our proven engines,
APU and other aircraft systems will deliver the reliability and
performance Gulfstream's customers will expect."
