U.S. Sen. Kyrsten Sinema met with a handful of Honeywell employees on Friday and talked about the importance of the U.S. Department of Defense and helping improve current supply chain issues.
In particular, how it can impact the future of unmanned aerial vehicles and the work being done on them in the Valley.
Honeywell officials toured the Urban Air Mobility and Unmanned Aerial Systems group at its north Phoenix facility at 1860 W. Rose Garden Lane with Sinema and showed off capabilities of unmanned aerial systems — known better as drones — that can be flown to different cities from a command center. The drone — which can carry a 35-pound load — could deliver goods long distances rather than short flights, like drones typically do today.
