Dassault has selected Honeywell’s Aspire 350 satellite communications system for its fleet of Falcon business aircraft. The deal provides for forward-fit and aftermarket retrofit of the system on the 900, 2000, 7X, 8X, 6X, and 10X models.
Built for business aircraft, airliners, and helicopters, Aspire 350 provides an integrated connectivity flight deck and cabin for pilots and passengers via Iridium’s Next satellite constellation—enabling speeds up to 700 Kbps and seamless pole-to-pole coverage while allowing pilots to maintain up-to-date information throughout the flight. It is small, lightweight, and, according to Honeywell, easy to install.
“Staying connected is critical to flight safety and efficiency, and we are proud that Dassault has selected the Aspire 350 for its fleet of best-in-class business aircraft. Honeywell and Dassault’s relationship has now reached its 50th year, and we continue to strengthen this relationship,” said Steve Hadden, Honeywell Aerospace v-p and general manager for services and connectivity. “We are confident that the users of the business aircraft will appreciate the seamless connectivity the Aspire 350 will provide. The experience will be like using your broadband at home.”
