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. The HUD presented via the goggles is not entirely comprehensive, however. L2 Aviation notes that it's best used to aviate by visual references before landing and ditching. SAVED is in the works for certification on the Boeing 737, 787, Airbus A320, A330, Gulfstream G650, 550, and more across the range of passenger-carrying industries.
“When we were looking for a certification partner for our SAVED system, we discovered an ideal partner with an excellent reputation in L2 Aviation”, said Nate Klatt, Founder and CEO of Klatt Works. “L2 is a leader in the aircraft products certification industry and we could not have asked for a better partner to integrate our SAVED system into additional aircraft beyond the FedEx fleet of Boeing 757, 767, and 777 aircraft as previously announced in AIN. L2’s expertise and our revolutionary vision display system will enhance flying safety in critical visibility situations like few other products have before.”
“The relationship between Klatt Works and L2 is one based on the shared desire to make a difference in the world and to provide cutting edge products and services to the aviation community”, said Tony Bailey, Chief Operations Officer for L2 Aviation. “The Klatt Works SAVED system brings an unparalleled level of safety to the cockpit and we could not be prouder to be a part of the team to help certify the system for use in the global aircraft industry”.
