Honeywell’s broad range of main wheels, nose wheels and replacement parts are manufactured for extended service life and lower costs of ownership. Designed for a 10,000-cycle life, our commercial wheels incorporate many features for improved thermal management including integrated heat shields and fuse plugs. Additionally, our wheels accommodate either radial or bias tires, based on aircraft or application requirements.
Honeywell’s unique thermal, stress and test capabilities have produced a rim-retained wheel design flying on several military aircraft platforms. This advanced wheel design saves weight, reduced maintenance costs and offers the potential for additional brake life.
Yes, we retrofit legacy systems (e.g., GE Frame 5, Siemens V94.2) with modern digital controllers, typically completing hardware integration within 4-8 weeks. Software migration requires additional validation time.
We recommend annual performance testing under ISO 3977-2 standards. Critical applications (e.g., offshore platforms) may require semi-annual tests with emissions compliance checks.
All rad-hard devices (e.g., FPGA, ADC) are QML Class V certified under MIL-PRF-38535 and tested to MIL-STD-883 Method 1019 for SEU tolerance. Full qualification reports are available upon request.
Our ASICs and power management ICs operate across -55°C to +175°C ambient temperatures, with derating curves provided in military temperature range (MTR) datasheets.
Our PMA parts (e.g., actuators, sensors) hold FAA/EASA Form 1 certification and match OEM form/fit/function. Installation requires SB/MB documentation per FAA AC 23.1529.
All NAS/MS fasteners include full DNA traceability: melt source (AMS 2301), heat/lot numbers, and AS9100-compliant MTRs with ultrasonic test reports.
AOG orders ship within 4 hours for stocked items (FAA-PMA, EASA Part 21G). Non-stock critical parts trigger priority manufacturing with 72-hour max turnaround.
