About Aerospace and Military Auxiliary Power Unit
An Auxiliary Power Unit help aircraft to operate independently without dependence on ground support equipment like ground power unit and high pressure air start cart. Auxiliary power is electric power which serves as backup for primary power source. It is provided by alternative power unit. The output power range of APUs is between 10 kW and 300 kW with bleed supply which requires as additional turbine power. The APU is also known as an electric generator which provides powers to the electrical system when the main engines on the aircraft are off. It also supply pressure for air conditioning. Globally, the aerospace and military auxiliary power unit market is anticipated to grow with a substantial growth in the upcoming years. The demand for commercial aircrafts is providing boosts to the market. Further, this APU units are known for less fuel consumptions and efficient alternative power supply. Hence the demand for this units owing to its eco-friendly nature is continue to rise. Geographically, developed aerospace infrastructure and leading technological advancements, highest investments for aerospace sectors impacting on the demand for APU in North America. Owing to this features, North America aerospace auxiliary power unit market is expected to grow with highest growth rate. According to U.S. AEROSPACE & DEFENSE 2019, the revenue generated by United States Aerospace sector was USD 909 billion. Further, booming demand from military aircraft in Germany, France and UK is projected to witness major growth in European aerospace auxiliary power unit market. Increasing population, favourable government policies encouraging investment in military and civil aviation sector expected to enhance the Asia-pacific aerospace auxiliary power unit market during forecast period.

Market Leaders and their expansionary development strategies
In June 2023, Honeywell unveiled a new high-efficiency mode upgrade for its 131-9B auxiliary power unit for Boeing 737 aircraft. The HEM is enabled by an innovative, highly efficient diffuser controlled by software that autonomously regulates airflow to the APU compressor section. The HEM feature upgrade is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by 1% to 2% (estimated reduction of 0.5 to 0.6 gallons per APU hour) and increase up to 1,500 APU flight hours, as well as fuel savings and efficiency. , lower fuel and maintenance costs.
In July 2022, Pratt & Whitney, a division of Raytheon Technologies, and Collins Aerospace launched a demonstration program for new hybrid electric technologies applicable to the advanced air mobility vehicles of the future. The scalable turboelectric powertrain technology demonstrator extends Pratt & Whitney and Collins Aerospace's longstanding collaboration on hybrid electric technology development.
