  • Honeywell International HON has been selected by French-Canadian company FLYING WHALES QUEBEC to integrate and supply its 1-megawatt generator.
  • The generator will supply power for the new hybrid-electric airship, the LCA60T. 
  • "Honeywell's 1-megwatt generator is a perfect fit for a transformational aircraft like the LCA60T," stated Dave Marinick, president, Engines & Power Systems, Honeywell Aerospace. 
  • "Our generator is four times as powerful as any other generator flying today, and at unmatched power density. We believe in creating a more sustainable future for aviation, and our work with FLYING WHALES is helping bring that future to life," added Marinick.
  • The LCA60T is a heavy-duty rigid airship with a 60-tonne payload capacity. It is powered by a 4-megawatt hybrid electric propulsion chain.
  • Flying Whales intends to fly the first LCA60T in 2025 and will manufacture 150 aircraft in the next 10 years.
  • Price Action: HON shares closed lower by 0.79% at $189.43 on Wednesday.
