Flight tracking shows Honeywell's Embraer E170—a 70-seat regional jet—registered under FAA classification 'Experimental / Research & Development,' making flights between Phoenix, San Diego and Burbank in July, likely tied to the Shield AI autonomy partnership. Honeywell already has an FAA-registered fleet ranging from helicopters to large aircraft, an ideal infrastructure base for testing autonomy.
