Join a company that's reintroducing itself to the aviation community we've helped advance for more than a century. At Honeywell Aerospace, we're launching as an independent, publicly traded aerospace and defense company built on a legacy of operational excellence and mission-focused execution.
Our new brand identity pairs that heritage with real momentum, as we build technology that helps pilots navigate with confidence, aircraft operate more efficiently, and operators stay ahead of change. With our systems on board 90% of the world's aircraft, your work here has reach that's rare to find anywhere else.
Focusing on our customers, investing in innovation, and building a culture of accountability and performance is how we're shaping what comes next.
Every horizon. Every mission. Every day.
Honeywell Aerospace products and services are found on aircraft across commercial aviation, defense and space. We operate through three business areas:
• Electronic Solutions develops the avionics, navigation systems, sensors and electromagnetic defense technology on board 90% of the world's aircraft
• Engines & Power Systems provides the propulsion, auxiliary power and electrical systems that keep those aircraft flying
• Control Systems supplies the thermal and motion control systems that support takeoff, landing and the safety of everyone on board
With approximately 58,000 employees worldwide and net sales of $17.4B in 2025, we are also advancing systems for autonomous and supersonic platforms — bringing the same focus on safety and efficiency to the next era of flight. Explore our businesses: https://www.honeywellaerospace.com
