L2 Aviation Announces Augmented Reality O2 Mask

Fire In the Cockpit? No Problem, says Klatt Works

L2 Aviation and Klatt Works have announced their new Smoke Assured Vision Enhanced Display (or SAVED system), a "unique wearable system that adds augmented reality technology to existing pilot oxygen masks". The suite is aimed at operators looking to maximize their flight deck safety standards, with quick-donning masks being able to present HUD symbology using a nose-mounted camera. The improvement means better pilotage in cases of flight deck smoke or window breakage thanks to the "all weather" vision provided by SAVED.

No Blends This Time, Just Pure Synthesized Fuel

Gulfstream Aerospace capped the "world’s first trans-Atlantic flight using 100% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF)" this month, using one of their G600 aircraft on a leg between Savannah, Georgia and England's Farnborough Airport. Gulfstream's mission made use of their G600's standard Pratt & Whitney PW815GA engines, allowing them to gain extended flight data for a pure SAF fuel. In the past, similar flights have been done on a blend of traditional Jet A/SAF blends, generally below a ratio of 50%. The use of pure SAF takes advantage of more domestic logistics chains, lower carbon, sulfur, and aromatics compared to standard petroleum products.
