HONEYWELL DELIVERS FIRST PRODUCTION

NITROGEN GENERATION SYSTEM

First FAA-certified fuel tank inerting system

significantly reduces fuel tank flammability,

increases commercial aircraft safety

PHOENIX, July 29, 2008 -- Honeywell (NYSE: HON) announced today it has delivered

the Nitrogen Generation System (NGS) for the Boeing Next-Generation 737 aircraft. The NGS

delivers nitrogen enriched air to the aircraft center fuel tank, significantly reducing flammability and

increasing commercial aircraft safety. On July 16, 2008, the Department of Transportation, National

Transportation Safety Board, and Federal Aviation Administration jointly announced that within two

years, all new aircraft must include technology designed to reduce the risk of center fuel tank fires.

The Honeywell NGS is the first fully FAA-certified fuel tank inerting solution for

commercial transport aircraft. Honeywell is developing additional systems for the Boeing 737-

300/400/500, 777-200/300, 747-400, and the 747-8 aircraft.

“Honeywell’s Nitrogen Generation System is based on more than 50 years of experience in

the development of systems and equipment for aircraft environmental control,” said Garrett Mikita,

President of Honeywell’s Air Transport and Regional business. “This system continues to extend

Honeywell’s heritage of providing state-of-the-art solutions to increase aircraft safety.”

Using advanced thermal management and gas separation technologies, the NGS substantially

reduces aircraft center fuel tank flammability by introducing nitrogen-enriched air to lower the

oxygen concentration. The National Transportation Safety Board has stated that the combination of

ignition source prevention and flammability reduction is the most effective means to prevent fuel

tank explosions. The safety of aircraft currently in-service can also be enhanced with the addition of

the Honeywell NGS.
