PHASA-35 featuring Honeywell’s HALAS (High-Altitude Long-Endurance Aerial System), has showcased its role as a persistent, stable platform for critical missions, ranging from ultra-long endurance intelligence and surveillance to disaster relief and border protection.
History was made this past summer of 2023, as the PHASA-35, an experimental solar-electric aircraft, completed an unprecedented 24-hour flight. Ascending over 66,000 feet, reaching the stratosphere’s threshold, heralding a new chapter in high-altitude flight.
Conducted in the vast New Mexico skies, the test flight was a profound demonstration of the aircraft’s robust potential. Honeywell’s HALAS sits at the heart of this technological marvel and the company’s contribution was crucial for the success of this mission. HALAS’s state-of-the-art technologies endowed the aircraft with the ability to navigate the unique challenges of near-space altitudes with exceptional precision and reliability, underscoring Honeywell’s commitment to innovation and excellence in aerospace.
Inspired by the limitless possibilities PHASA-35 represents, Honeywell’s HALAS has not only elevated the project but has also accelerated the aerospace industry toward a future where the sky is not the limit but the beginning.
