Honeywell Aerospace and 17 European partners have made a reported breakthrough in developing a megawatt-class hydrogen-electric propulsion system. The effort marks progress toward higher-power hydrogen propulsion architectures, with potential relevance to future aircraft electrification and aviation decarbonization programs.
Honeywell Aerospace is evaluating whether to bring some manufacturing work back in-house, reflecting a broader shift among aerospace companies seeking greater control over supply chains. The move would reverse portions of its prior outsourcing strategy, though the company’s plans and scope remain unclear.
Honeywell Aerospace is considering acquisitions of smaller companies to bring more manufacturing work in-house as it addresses supply bottlenecks and quality problems. The approach would expand Honeywell’s direct control over production while potentially reshaping its supplier footprint and capacity strategy.
Honeywell Aerospace CEO said GE Aerospace’s planned $12 billion acquisition of casting specialist CPP is positive for the industry, while pointing to further opportunities to bring outsourced capabilities back in-house. The comments signal broader aerospace-manufacturing interest in vertical integration and supply-chain control.
