Connected Aircraft Lifts Off: Honeywell's 'Power Of Connected' World Tour Coming To A City Near YouPHOENIX, May 25, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Grab your leather jacket and pack a bag, because the summer's most unlikely rock tour is taking place 35,000 feet overhead. Honeywell (NYSE: HON) will soon launch its "Power of Connected" world tour to showcase its latest technology, applications and services for aircraft. The set list includes an inside look at how Honeywell is enabling the Connected Aircraft to improve flights for pilots, passengers and flight operators alike. It's a lot more than rock and roll, and we sure like it. This first-of-its-kind tour kicks off at San Francisco International Airport on Wednesday, May 31 —50 years after the "Summer of Love" defined a generation in the same city. Honeywell's own Summer of Connected will continue in more than a dozen countries across the globe over several months. While only a few hundred VIPs will have the chance to travel on the Honeywell 757, scores of fans can be a part of the tour anytime at www.HoneywellRocks.com. "For us, there's nothing more heavy metal than creating a more comfortable flight for passengers, with less turbulence, fewer delays and better high-speed internet," said Kristin Slyker, vice president, Connected Aircraft, Honeywell Aerospace. "We're using data to avoid bad weather and better prepare pilots, and we're striving to get rid of maintenance delays with technology that can predict problems before they happen." The Power of Connected Tour Experience In anticipation of the tour, Honeywell has debuted a new livery on its 757 to showcase the capabilities of the Connected Aircraft. Passengers will get VIP passes to experience how Honeywell is combining hardware and software to create the Connected Aircraft. Here are some of the technologies taking center stage:
The second leg in July will include stops in Dubai, Beijing, Tokyo and several other cities. "We've been helping airplanes connect since U2 came on the scene, and now we're connecting aircraft in more insightful and powerful ways. We're taking the aerospace industry into the digital age, and most importantly, making flight better," said Slyker. Supporting Resources
