Honeywell hopes for big business from IAF projects
Honeywells aerospace division said here that the company is partnering Indian companies to address the needs of offsets arising from the defence deals.
Meanwhile, the Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) has been contracted by the global aerospace major Honeywell to manufacture over 600 small aircraft engines for the global market over the next 10 years.
Speaking to reporters here, Pritam Bhavnani, President, Honeywell Aerospace India, said, Honeywell had developed a new engine for the Jaguar aircraft. We have provided the engine to Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) and the Indian Air Force, he added.
About Honeywells sourcing agreement with HAL for engines for turboprop aircraft, Bhavnani said the first phase of the project was nearly over. In the second phase, HAL will supply 400 additional parts. The third phase is likely to be completed in 2011, he said.
HAL will also make engine parts for Honeywell. He said, We have signed a deal with HAL for the manufacture of engine components in three phases. HAL has completed 98 per cent of the work for first phase; around 60 per cent of work in second phase is also complete.
He said, HAL will manufacture engine -TPE331-12 for civil aircrafts. We have given order for 25 kits (600 engines) of which HAL has already delivered around eight kits. The company, which sees India as a huge market, said its F125IN engine can be used for upgrading the Jaguar fighter used by the IAF. We are ready with engines and awaiting for request for procurement (RFP), Bhavnani said.
On the role of Honeywells facilities in Bangalore, Bhavnani said employees here had contributed to the development of the smart runaway landing and smart landing system. He said, the system would help aircraft pilots have better situational awareness, especially in adverse weather conditions. He said, Emirates and Alaska Airlines, and others had shown interest in procuring the system.
