About Bendix King
The history of the Bendix/King name runs parallel to the development of King Radio up to the mid-1980s, when the Allied Corporation purchased Bendix Aviation and King Radio and combined the two to create Bendix/King avionics. In late 1985, the Allied Corporation merged with the Signal Companies to become Allied-Signal. In 1999, AlliedSignal merged with Honeywell and adopted the Honeywell name to take advantage of the company’s universal recognition throughout the industries it serves as well as in households around the world. Shortly after the merger was completed, Honeywell announced that due to pilot recognition and loyalty, it would retain the Bendix/King brand. Today, Bendix/King (www.bendixking.com) by Honeywell is a strategic business unit in Aerospace. It is a global leader in Avionics serving the General Aviation (GA) aircraft community with quality products, integrated system solutions, and services that make flying more comfortable, more secure, and more productive in every corner of the world.
