Underscoring its commitment to supporting aerospace innovation across the Middle East, Honeywell Aerospace (Stand 549) has brought its Boeing 757 test-bed, aka the Flying Technology Lab, for static display here at MEBAA. The jet has been used for research and development since 2008, accumulating over 1,700 flight hours conducting more than 400 tests in 15 countries. In the process, it has “helped shape modern aviation by testing the most advanced safety, efficiency and performance technologies,” said Raghed Talih, the U.S. company’s sales director for the Middle East.
