AIBOT, a leading company in electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) technology, has announced its collaboration with Honeywell for the integration of the Compact Fly-By-Wire (cFBW) system into AIBOT’s aiEVTOL aircraft. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in the development of revolutionary eVTOL technology by combining cutting-edge capabilities with advanced aerospace technologies.
AIBOT, based in California, aims to disrupt the future of urban air mobility through innovation and strategic partnerships. The company envisions a software-driven, AI-empowered, electric, shared, and connected aiEVTOL ecosystem that transforms the passenger experience. By leveraging Honeywell’s expertise in aerospace technology, AIBOT plans to embed the cFBW system in its innovative eVTOL aircraft. Honeywell’s reputation for excellence aligns with AIBOT’s pioneering approach to eVTOL aviation.
Jerry Wang, Executive Chairman of AIBOT, expressed his excitement about the collaboration with Honeywell, stating that it represents a pivotal milestone in realizing their vision of disrupting the next generation of mobility. John Clarkson, AIBOT Chief Engineer and former AIRBUS A380 Head of Engineering, Wing and Pylon, highlighted the company’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of the eVTOL market, resulting in a game-changing line of products.
The cFBW system from Honeywell plays a crucial role in this collaboration, offering enhanced safety protocols, operational efficiency, and unprecedented flexibility in aircraft design. This integration ensures a seamless and reliable flight experience synonymous with excellence and reliability.
David Shilliday, Vice President and General Manager of Advanced Air Mobility at Honeywell Aerospace, emphasized the scalability of Honeywell’s Flight Control technology to meet the varying needs of customers. He expressed excitement about working with AIBOT as they continue their journey to positively disrupt the way people move.
AIBOT has achieved significant milestones in aiEVTOL technology, positioning itself among the top 10 eVTOL contenders aiming for market deployment by the end of the decade. The company plans to start its strategic production strategy in 2024 with the rollout of fully autonomous heavy unmanned aircraft for industries such as cargo, agriculture, high-speed inspection, and medical deliveries. These unmanned aircraft will benefit from the same system architecture as their manned aiEVTOL designs, ensuring synergy across their fleet. The maiden flight of AIBOT’s manned aiEVTOL aircraft is expected in 2025.
The collaboration between AIBOT and Honeywell signifies a new era of technological innovation and sustainable development in eVTOL aviation. By combining advanced aerospace solutions with pioneering visions for the future of air mobility, the partnership aims to revolutionize the industry.
