REFLECTOR: Velocity FLIR

[SlvEgl99 at aol.com]

There is now a commercial FLIR system available STC'd to the likes of  
Cessna 182 for $15,000. What is the estimated cost of this one?

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.
