The Honeywell Bendix Trophy for Aviation Safety was re-established
in 1998 by AlliedSignal (which later merged with Honeywell) to recognize
contributions to aerospace safety by individuals or institutions through
innovation in advanced safety equipment and equipment utilization. With
the Bendix Trophy and the Bendix Air Race as its heritage, The
Honeywell Bendix Trophy for Aviation Safety includes a one-quarter-scale
reproduction of the original Bendix Trophy and a handsome, wood-framed,
hand-lettered citation. The award is administered by the Foundation.
The original Bendix Trophy was awarded yearly from 1931 until
1962 (except during World War II and in 1951–52) to winners of the
trans-North America Bendix Air Race, sponsored by Vincent Bendix of The
Bendix Corp.
The original Bendix Trophy was donated in 1985 to the Smithsonian
Institution by the estate of Bendix Air Race founder Cliff Henderson.
The trophy is displayed at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington,
D.C., U.S.
The nominating deadline is April 21, 2008; the award is presented
at Honeywell’s Press Event at the Farnborough Air Show, July 12,
2008.
