About: Honeywell auxiliary power unit

Honeywell auxiliary power units are a series of gas turbine Auxiliary power units (APU) made by Honeywell Aerospace. Honeywell started manufacturing APUs in the early 1950s and since then they can be found on many aircraft. Over the years Honeywell have produced more than 95,000 APUs and more than 36,000 are still in service. In 2018 Honeywell had a 65% share of the airliner APU market and is the sole supplier for the Airbus A350, the Boeing 777 and single-aisle airliners: the Boeing 737 MAX, Airbus A220 (formerly Bombardier CSeries), Comac C919, Irkut MC-21 and Airbus A320neo after Airbus removed the Hamilton Sundstrand APS3200 option. Pratt & Whitney Canada (P&WC) claims the remaining 35% of the APU market with the Airbus A380, Boeing 787 and Boeing 747-8.
