Jekta has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with\nHoneywell. The accord signifies the first step in exploring, identifying, and\nconfirming a suite of Honeywell systems to integrate with the world\u2019s first\n19-seat, electrically powered, regional, amphibious aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In conjunction with Jekta, Honeywell will design and\nco-develop aeronautical systems that will optimize efficiencies, enhance\nstreamlined operations, and augment the safety of aircraft operations, while\nensuring minimal operational environmental impact and delivering a\nbest-in-class passenger experience. In addition, Jekta and Honeywell will\ncollaborate on discerning the viability of single-pilot operations for\ncommercial flying of the PHA-ZE 100 class of aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MOU marks a significant milestone for Jekta as the\nSwitzerland-based OEM will leverage Honeywell\u2019s extensive expertise and\nmaximize knowledge transfer in its endeavors to deliver a new class of\namphibious flying boats to the global regional seaplane market.  Honeywell avionics, electric engines, flight\ncontrol systems, and connectivity will all be discussed under the terms of the\nMOU, with the final system architecture and integration to be confirmed by the\nend of 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur sustainable airframe represents the most contemporary\ndesign and development, and consequently, we want to partner with suppliers\nrenowned for their vision, expertise and flexibility. Honeywell has all these\nqualities and more. The signing of this MOU is a real vote of confidence for\nJekta and the PHA-ZE 100, which will satisfy the travel demands of a whole new\ngeneration of passengers seeking affordable, environmentally friendly, regional\ntravel solutions. We are proud to be a beneficiary of the years of Honeywell\nexperience and anticipate that it will add real value to the development of an\naircraft that operators will welcome, and passengers will love,\u201d says George\nAlafinov, CEO of Jekta Switzerland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MOU signed on 20 April and began with immediate effect.\nJekta and Honeywell are already in ongoing discussions to identify key\ncomponents for integration, environmental operating requirements and roles and\nresponsibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PHA-ZE 100 amphibious flying boat will be certified to\nEASA CS-23 and US FAA FAR-23 standards for fixed-wing passenger aircraft. It is\noptimized to serve coastal and island communities, regional routes currently\nlimited by operational costs, and to support new low-cost, sustainable services\nbetween cities without the need for the installation of expensive land\ninfrastructure. Low maintenance and fuel costs, much-reduced noise, no\npollution impact, and minimal aviation infrastructure requirements combine to\nmake the PHA-ZE 100 an optimal platform for sustainable and new operations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
