| "The
new G500 and G600 represent extremely advanced business aircraft and continue
the strong innovation partnership between Honeywell and Gulfstream," said
Brian Sill, president, Business and General Aviation, Honeywell Aerospace. "From
consumer-like touch functionality in the cockpit to mechanical systems that reduce
weight and increase flight efficiency, collectively we are providing customers,
pilots and passengers with the best flight experience possible." "Gulfstream
and Honeywell share a long and esteemed history of working together to introduce
industry-leading flight deck technologies," said Dan Nale, senior vice president,
Programs, Engineering and Test, Gulfstream. "The SymmetryTM flight deck,
featuring Honeywell Primus Epic avionics, continues this tradition by offering
the most integrated and streamlined flight deck in business aviation. With touchscreens,
the SymmetryTM flight deck dramatically reduces the number of switches, thereby
enhancing pilot and passenger safety."

Brings Modern Touch to the Cockpit The aircraft will be the first to feature
Honeywell’s new touchscreen technology in Gulfstream’s new SymmetryTM
flight deck. Aimed at making displays more intuitive, integrated and significantly
more user-friendly for pilots, Honeywell’s new touch capabilities will naturally
ease workload and improve communications in the cockpit. The integrated touchscreens
will be used for system controls, flight management, communications, checklists,
and monitoring weather and flight information. “Pilots use touchscreens
in their daily consumer devices and because of this are much more accustomed to
interfacing with machines through interactive screens,” said Jeff Merdich,
director of Product Marketing for Cockpit Systems at Honeywell Aerospace. “Our
engineers are responding to this change by bringing consumer device interaction
to the cockpit and matching the modality to the mission. The Honeywell User Experience,
a Honeywell human-centered design approach, gives pilots the information they
need, when they need it – in the most intuitive way.” Honeywell
Advanced Avionics and Mechanical Products on the G500 and G600 - Honeywell’s
SmartView synthetic vision system. SmartView significantly improves the flight
crew’s situational awareness by providing a large, 3-D color synthetic image
of the outside world to enhance safety and efficiency.
- Touchscreen
controllers. Using an 8-inch diagonal LCD, the touchscreen controllers are
fully integrated with cockpit and aircraft systems, providing advanced functionality
from flight planning and audio control to checklist and aircraft systems control,
as well as the capability to expand.
- 2-D and 3-D airport moving maps.
The 2-D moving map shows runways, taxiways, airport structures and signs at many
airports on the cockpit navigation displays, while the 3-D moving map integrates
the Synthetic Vision System for an “out the window” view of the airport
on the Primary Flight Display.
- Cockpit display of traffic information.
This presents the position of nearby aircraft equipped with ADS-B transponders
on the flight deck multifunction display, giving the flight crew better awareness
and understanding of airborne and surface traffic.
- Flight deck connectivity.
Wireless data loading enables pilots and maintenance personnel to wirelessly transfer
data files, such as terrain and navigation database updates, through a mobile
app.
- HGT400[G] auxiliary power unit (APU). This integrated system
supplies pneumatic and electric power for the aircraft while on the ground or
in flight. Honeywell’s newest large-cabin business aviation APU is derived
from a successful lineage of the proven RE220 APU. The system is approximately
30 pounds lighter than the average APU in its class with industry-leading technological
advancements to maximise performance and reliability. The HGT400[G] is also equipped
with Honeywell’s latest electronic controller technology, allowing for smooth
communication with the integrated flight deck.
- Environmental control
system and cabin pressure control system. Integrated systems that provide
a more comfortable, quieter experience for passengers by minimising changes in
the cabin environment and reducing workload for the crew.
