In the 1970s, after one member of a group called FREE on the Minneapolis campus (U of M) of the University of Minnesota asked five major companies with local offices to explain their attitudes toward gay men and women, three responded quickly, insisting that they did not discriminate against gay people in their hiring policies. Only Honeywell objected to hiring gay people. Later in

6208-436: The company. The project's existence was revealed in early 1997 and was formally introduced at the Paris Air Show two years later. On 19 February 2002, the first prototype E-Jet conducted its maiden flight ; later that year, quantity production of the type commenced. In early March 2004, the first E170 deliveries were made to LOT Polish Airlines . Larger versions of the aircraft, the E190 and E195, debuted later in 2004, while

6305-516: The creation of a horizontal monopoly . US regulators disagreed, finding that the merger would improve competition and reduce prices; United States Assistant Attorney General Charles James called the EU's decision "antithetical to the goals of antitrust law enforcement." This led to a drop in morale and general tumult throughout Honeywell. The then-CEO Michael Bonsignore was fired as Honeywell looked to turn their business around. In January 2002, Knorr-Bremse  – who had been operating in

6402-403: The development schedule; originally, the first flight had been set to take place during 2000. On 29 October 2001, the first prototype PP-XJE was rolled out at São José dos Campos, Brazil. On 19 February 2002, the first prototype performed its maiden flight , marking the beginning of a multi-year flight test campaign involving a total of six prototypes. In May 2002, the aircraft was displayed to

6499-485: The end of 2018. In 2018, Honeywell spun off both Honeywell Turbo Technologies, now Garrett Advancing Motion , and its consumer products business, Resideo. Both companies are publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange . For the fiscal year 2019, Honeywell reported net income of US$ 6.230 billion, with an annual revenue of US$ 36.709 billion, a decrease of 19.11% over the previous fiscal cycle. Honeywell's shares traded at over $ 158 per share, and its market capitalization

6596-487: The engine performance resulting in reduced fuel consumption and maintenance requirements. The aircraft carries 13,000 kg (29,000 lb) of fuel and is fitted with a Parker Hannifin fuel system. Embraer offered two slightly different versions of the E190 and the E195: the LR (Long Range) and AR (Advanced Range). The LR was the base model. On AR models, MTOW was increased by 1,500 kg (3,300 lb) offering an additional 50 nmi (93 km; 58 mi) of range on

6693-517: The family without the need for any retraining/recertifying and providing greater flexibility to operators. Early operations of the E-Jet were frequently troubled by avionics issues; by September 2008, Honeywell had issued software updates that sought to rectify the encountered issues. The main cabin is configured with four-abreast seating (2+2) as standard, and features a "double-bubble" design that Embraer has purpose-developed for its commercial passenger jets to provide stand-up headroom. The dimensions of

6790-408: The first E170 deliveries were made to LOT Polish Airlines , other customers to receive early deliveries were Alitalia and US Airways -subsidiary MidAtlantic Airways . On 17 March 2004, LOT operated the first commercial flight of an E-Jet, which flew from Warsaw to Vienna . Within four years, LOT was sufficiently pleased with the type to order 12 additional E175s. Launch customer Crossair had in

6887-412: The first flight of the E175 took place. In April 2003, jetBlue placed an order for 100 Embraer 190s, the deliveries of which commenced two years later. Following several delays in the certification process, the E170 received type certification from the civil aviation authorities of Brazil, Europe and the United States in February 2004. In 2008, the 400th E-jet was delivered to Republic Airways in

6984-527: The home comfort sector. Honeywell is in the consortium that runs the Pantex Plant that assembles all of the nuclear bombs in the United States arsenal. Honeywell Federal Manufacturing & Technologies, successor to the defense products of AlliedSignal, operates the Kansas City Plant which produces and assembles 85 percent of the non-nuclear components of the bombs. Honeywell began

7081-512: The initial versions of the McDonnell Douglas DC-9 and Boeing 737 . All members of the E-Jet family are available in baseline, long range (LR), and advanced range (AR) models, the latter being intended for long routes with limited passenger numbers. The smaller members of the E-Jet family are powered by the General Electric CF34 -8E turbofan engine, each capable of generating up to 14,200 lbf (63 kN) of thrust, while

7178-475: The majority were forced to find new jobs or retire. Soon after the merger, the company's stock fell significantly, and did not return to its pre-merger level until 2007. In 2000, the new Honeywell acquired Pittway for $ 2.2 billion to gain a greater share of the fire-protection and security systems market, and merged it into their Home and Building Control division, taking on Pittway's $ 167 million in debt. Analyst David Jarrett commented that "while Honeywell offered

7275-491: The meantime ceased to exist after its takeover of Swissair , leading to the cancellation of these orders. Furthermore, fellow launch customer Régional chose to defer its order, not receiving its first E-jet—an E190LR—until 2006. During July 2005, the first E175 was delivered to Air Canada , entering revenue service with the airline that same month. In April 2013, Air Canada begun the transfer of its 15-strong E175 fleet to subsidiary Sky Regional Airlines , this reorganisation

7372-582: The name "Honeywell" because of the considerable brand recognition. Honeywell was a component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average index from 1999 to 2008. Prior to 1999, its corporate predecessors were included dating back to 1925, including early entrants in the computing and thermostat industries. In 2020, Honeywell rejoined the Dow Jones Industrial Average index. In 2021, it moved its stock listing from

7469-399: The needs of its mainline operators; by October 2014, the company had two directly-owned service centers, alongside nine authorized centers and 26 independent MRO organizations around the globe, while directly employing 1,200 staff for product support alone. In response to customer demands, the company also developed web-based support. BA CityFlyer , a subsidiary of British Airways , operates

7566-611: The outbreak of World War II , Minneapolis-Honeywell was approached by the US military for engineering and manufacturing projects. In 1941, Minneapolis-Honeywell developed a superior tank periscope, camera stabilizers, and the C-1 autopilot. The C-1 revolutionized precision bombing and was ultimately used on the two B-29 bombers that dropped atomic bombs on Japan in 1945. The success of these projects led Minneapolis-Honeywell to open an Aero division in Chicago on October 5, 1942. This division

7663-496: The public at the Regional Airline Association convention. During that same year, full-rate production of the E-Jet commenced; this activity was centred around a recently-completed factory built by Embraer at its São José dos Campos base. After a positive response from the airline community, Embraer launched the E175, which stretched the fuselage of the E170 by 1.78 metres (5.8 ft). During June 2003,

7760-519: The range nor the passenger-carrying capacity of that period's wide-body aircraft. The re-engined Boeing 737 MAX and Airbus A320neo jets offer 500 miles more range, allowing them to operate the 3,000 miles transatlantic flights between the eastern U.S. and Western Europe, previously dominated by wide-body aircraft. Norwegian Air Shuttle , JetBlue and TAP Portugal will open up direct routes bypassing airline hubs for lower fares between cheaper, smaller airports. The Boeing 737NG 3,300-mile range

7857-547: The remaining shares of the company from the other stockholders. In 1906, Mark Honeywell founded the Honeywell Heating Specialty Company in Wabash , Indiana , to manufacture and market his invention, the mercury seal generator. As Honeywell's company grew, thanks in part to the acquisition of Jewell Manufacturing Company in 1922 to better automate his heating system, it began to clash with

7954-603: The same structure as the E190, but with an extended range of up to 4,200 nmi (7,800 km; 4,800 mi), and luxury seating for up to 19. It was certified by the US Federal Aviation Administration on 7 January 2009. The first two production aircraft were delivered in December 2008. Embraer considered producing an aircraft which was known as the E195X, a stretched version of the E195. It would have seated approximately 130 passengers. The E195X

8051-517: The similar experience with the CRJ200 and ERJ 145 demonstrates the limited remarketing opportunities. As of 2024, the E175 remains in production, with strong demand from regional airlines in the United States , which cannot order the newer but heavier E175-E2 due to scope clause restrictions on maximum takeoff weight . The E190/195 models are larger stretches of the E170/175 models fitted with

8148-596: The stretched aircraft are outfitted with the more powerful General Electric CF34 -10E, capable of producing a maximum of 20,000 lbf (89 kN) thrust. These engines have been designed to minimise noise and emission outputs, exceeding the requirements established by the International Civil Aviation Organization ; the relatively low acoustic signature has enabled the E-Jet to be operated from airports that have imposed strict noise restrictions, such as London City Airport . The type

8245-525: The three largest operators of the E-Jet family were SkyWest Airlines (241), Republic Airways (208), and Envoy Air (152), operating variably for Alaska Airlines , American Eagle , Delta Connection , and United Express . Narrow-body aircraft Historically, beginning in the late 1960s and continuing through the 1990s, twin engine narrow-body aircraft, such as the Boeing 737 Classic , McDonnell-Douglas MD-80 and Airbus A320 were primarily employed in short to medium-haul markets requiring neither

8342-508: The type; on 20 July 2010, Flybe ordered 35 E175s valued at US$ 1.3 billion (£850 million), along with options for 65 more (valued at $ 2.3 bn/£1.5 bn) and purchase rights for a further 40 (valued at $ 1.4 bn/£0.9 bn), deliveries of which commenced in November 2011. On 6 November 2008, the longest flight of an E190 was flown by JetBlue from Anchorage Airport to Buffalo International Airport over 2,694 nmi (4,989 km; 3,100 mi),

8439-495: The wingspan from 26 m (85 ft 4 in) to 28.65 m (93 ft 11 in). This winglet change was only made available to the E175 and no other models in the family. In late 2017, Embraer announced the E175SC (special configuration), limited to 70 seats like the E170 to take advantage of the E175 performance improvements but still comply with US airline scope clauses limiting operators to 70 seats. Embraer

8536-588: The year. The E190F will have a payload capacity of 10,700 kg (23,600 lb), while the E195F’s will be 12,300 kg (27,100 lb). The company secured its first order in May 2023 for ten aircraft from lessor Nordic Aviation Capital , to be delivered to Astral Aviation as the launch operator. On 2 May 2006, Embraer announced plans for the business jet variant of the E190, the Embraer Lineage 1000. It has

8633-556: Was acquired by AlliedSignal , who elected to retain the Honeywell name for its brand recognition. The former Honeywell moved their headquarters of 114 years to AlliedSignal's in Morristown , New Jersey . While "technically, the deal looks more like an acquisition than a merger...from a strategic standpoint, it is a merger of equals." AlliedSignal's 1998 revenue was reported at $ 15.1 billion to Honeywell's $ 8.4 billion, but together

8730-505: Was apparently a response to an American Airlines request for an aircraft to replace its McDonnell Douglas MD-80s . Embraer abandoned plans for the 195X in May 2010, following concerns that its flight range would be too short. The commercial names used for the E170 and E190 families differ from the official model designations, as used (for instance) with the Type-Certificates, and in national registries. As of April 2024,

8827-538: Was completed during September 2013. By July 2020, approximately 25 million passengers had flown on the Canadian fleet over a cumulative 650,000 flight hours, while a total of 25 E175s were in service on both domestic and transborder flights into the US, which were then being flown under the Air Canada Express branding. In March 2021, Air Canada announced its intention to consolidate all regional flying under

8924-449: Was responsible for the development of the formation stick to control autopilots, more accurate fuel quantity indicators for aircraft, and the turbo supercharger. In 1950, Minneapolis-Honeywell's Aero division was contracted for the controls on the first US nuclear submarine, USS Nautilus . In 1951, the company acquired Intervox Company for their sonar, ultrasonic, and telemetry technologies. Honeywell also helped develop and manufacture

9021-570: Was the first operator of the E195, had 14 orders and 12 options, and started E195 operations on 22 September 2006. Flybe have since decided that they would remove the aircraft from their fleet in favour of the Dash 8 Q400 and Embraer 175, in an effort to reduce costs, by 2020. Air Canada operated 45 E190 aircraft fitted with 9 business-class and 88 economy-class seats as part of its primary fleet. They were retired in May 2020. American Airlines operated E190s until 2020. JetBlue and Georgian Airways operate

9118-567: Was the first to enter revenue service in March 2004. As of 2017, the E170 went out of production. The Embraer 170 typically seats around 72 passengers in a typical single class configuration, 66 in a dual class configuration, and up to 78 in a high-density configuration. The E170 directly competed with the Bombardier CRJ700 and loosely with the turboprop Bombardier Q400 . The jet is powered with General Electric CF34-8E engines of 14,200 pounds (62.28 kN) thrust each. The E175

9215-473: Was then incorporated into its automation and controls safety unit. In 2015, the headquarters were moved to Morris Plains, New Jersey . The 475,000-square-foot building on 40 acres in Morris Plains featured state-of-the-art technology and greater energy efficiency than Honeywell's Morristown campus, which was underutilized, outdated and costly, according to Cote. In December 2015, Honeywell completed

9312-516: Was to feature a new wing and larger-diameter fuselage mated to the nose and cockpit of the ERJ 145 . The proposed derivative would have cost $ 450 million to develop. While Alenia , Aerospatiale and British Aerospace through AI(R) were studying the Airjet 70 based on the ATR 42/72 fuselage for a 2,200 km (1,200 nmi; 1,400 mi) range, AI(R) and Embraer were studying a joint development of

9409-715: Was valued at over US$ 113.25 billion in September 2020. Honeywell relocated its corporate headquarters in October 2019 to Charlotte, North Carolina. In July 2019, Honeywell moved employees into a temporary headquarters building in Charlotte before their new building was complete. Honeywell Forge launched as an analytics platform software for industrial and commercial applications such as aircraft, building, industrial, worker and cyber-security. In collaboration with Carnegie Mellon University National Robotics Engineering Center,
