REFLECTOR: Velocity FLIR

[Brett Ferrell]

Wow, that's pretty sweet....  I've added this to your Wiki page, but do you have pictures of the installation that you'd like to share, or cockpit pictures?

>  For people who may be interested, we have developed, test flown, and
>  posted a demonstration video of a prototype FLIR (Forward Looking Infrared
>  ‘night vision’) camera system for our Velocity (N2XF):
>  
>  
>  The primary purpose of the FLIR is to help the pilot avoid things he needs
>  to miss (like cell phone and communications towers), and find things he
>  needs to find (like the runway) at night and in poor visibility conditions.
>  The Blended Vision FLIR technology is derived from 25-30 years of
>  development for military and aerospace applications.  The image from the
>  current prototype is displayed  in the ‘Video’ mode on our GRT
>  Technology ‘HX’ EFIS cockpit displays.  We also record the
>  video from the FLIR in real time onto a laptop (which is what we used to
>  create the demonstration video).
>  
>  
>  If you’d like to see what FLIR imagery looks like, as flown on a
>  Velocity, go to the Blended Vision website and to the Flight Test Video
>  tab.  This demo video was created from the first three FLIR test flights
>  that were flown late last week and over the weekend.
