    "excerpt": "By Martin Chomsky (Defence Industry Europe) Image: Honeywell Aerospace. Honeywell Aerospace and Aeronamic have brought a modular test cell into operation at Woensdrecht Air Support Command in the Netherlands. It enables regional testing of turbomachines used in the F-35’s Power and Thermal Management System, supporting the establishment of repair capability for regional operators. The companies said the facility will shorten turnaround times, reduce logistics requirements and increase aircraft availability. It builds on their existing work to establish F-35 sustainment infrastructure in Europe. Honeywell led the test cell’s development and integration. Netherlands-based Aeronamic supports its operation with maintenance, repair and overhaul expertise. “This milestone reflects our continued commitment to supporting F-35 operators with advanced sustainment solutions that improve readiness and efficiency,” said Ryan Lees, Honeywell Aerospace’s vice president and general manager for Air & Thermal Controls. “Facilitating in-region testing of PTMS turbomachines reduces turnaround times and quickly restores critical systems while strengthening local capability and capacity – which is a key element of our international defence strategy.” The Power and Thermal Management System integrates multiple aircraft systems into a single solution to improve efficiency and performance.
