Article Type: Equipment and software From: Aircraft Engineering and Aerospace Technology: An International Journal, Volume 81, Issue 3
Honeywell has selected Hamilton Sundstrand’s Kidde Aerospace & Defense business unit to supply the overheat detection system for the Airbus A350XWB (Extra Wide Body) family of aircraft. Hamilton Sundstrand is a subsidiary of United Technologies Corp.
The A350XWB overheat detection system monitors the aircraft environmental control system’s bleed air ducts for overheat conditions caused by failures. The system features linear thermal sensors, interconnecting cable assemblies and electronic controls residing within the Honeywell Bleed Overheat Monitoring Unit.
The A350XWB overheat detection system will be designed and manufactured at Kidde Aerospace & Defense’s Wilson, NC, facility.
Hamilton Sundstrand was previously selected by Airbus to provide the A350XWB’s Ram Air Turbine and electric power generation system. Through ECE, a Zodiac company, Hamilton Sundstrand will also provide the solid state power controllers for the aircraft’s electric power distribution system.
