PORTFOLIO
SALUS is a reaction-wheel based stability system designed to mitigate spin during helicopter hoist operations. SALUS sought to ensure “stability on the rise”. Acquired by Vita Inclinata in 2020.
AURA is a computer vision based training tool that scans instrument cockpits for aircraft data, then visualizes that data in a task-specific manner on pilot kneeboards in real-time. AURA seeks to ensure “efficient flight training, additionally capable pilots, and safer skies”.
