I am pleased to finally be able to announce a project I’ve been coordinating for about six months now….

Honeywell Aerospace, based at Sky Harbor airport in Phoenix AZ operates an ex Eastern Airlines Boeing 757-200 as a flying testbed for new engines and avionics.  This collaboration, involving Jennings Heilig, Sergey Druz, and Greg Drawbaugh sees two decals produced for the two schemes that this aircraft has worn in Honeywell service.   Jennings did the artwork, and in the case of the early scheme, using photos kindly shared by Greg.  Sergey designed and has produced the ‘Golden Engine’, a Honeywell HTF7000 turbofan that Honeywell installed on the aircraft annually to test and calibrate the equipment and sensors on the 757.

Why does Honeywell refer to the HTF7000 as their ‘Golden Engine’?    Read this….
