Regal Rexnord and Honeywell Collaborate on Aerospace Tech
Jan. 29, 2025
Initial work will focus on flight surface actuation systems, which can involve a variety of actuator types to control aircraft components ranging from rudders and flaps to landing gear and thrust reversers.

Joby Aviation’s electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft are powered by six electric motors, enabling it to take off and land vertically.
Regal Rexnord and Honeywell have entered into a multi-year collaboration to build technologies designed for electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft. The companies will integrate electro-mechanical components, systems and software for these aircraft types.
The full scope of collaboration between the companies on this project is still being developed but is expected to include multiple manufacturing points, including components manufactured through the final product assembly and test of Honeywell’s flight control actuation systems.
“This alliance blends Honeywell’s flight control system integration and certification expertise with Regal Rexnord’s automated manufacturing expertise to accelerate entry-into-service (the process of introducing a new aircraft type into a fleet) to meet demand,” said Dave Shilliday, vice president and general manager, advanced air mobility, Honeywell Aerospace Technologies. “We are confident that this arrangement will be hugely beneficial to advanced air mobility companies that need guidance and support to achieve their certification and flight goals.”
