Honeywell Receives Order from U.S. Navy For Maintenance Systems For CH-46 Helicopters
Posted: 02 March 2005
Honeywell announced today that it has received an order from the U.S. Navy for 17 of its Aircraft Integrated Maintenance Systems (AIMS) for the CH-46E helicopter to be delivered through 2005.
“We fully expect the Navy to experience an enhancement in safety and a reduction in operating cost as a result of installing the AIMS system on its CH-46E helicopters,” said Qua Le, Business Development Leader for Honeywell’s vibration monitoring business. “The system enhances safety and reduces maintenance cost, since it can help an operator avoid a catastrophic component failure and because it can reduce diagnostic labor and flight test hours.”
Honeywell has completed prototype installation and successfully performed a full functional check flight. Produced at Honeywell’s Chadwick facility in El Monte, Calif., the system performs vibration monitoring, rotor track and balance, engine performance checks and engine monitoring functions.
