Name: Klatt Works O2 Mask Head-Up Display Lets Pilot See in Smoky Cockpits

Description: Pilots might be able to breathe during a smoke emergency, but landing is a problem if pilots can't see their instruments.

When smoke obscures the cockpit, pilots’ ability to see critical instruments and the outside environment can quickly vanish. Klatt Works created its Smoke Assured Vision Enhanced Display (SAVED) oxygen mask for these scenarios. The SAVED system combines a high-resolution, low-latency display with a feed from the aircraft’s external camera (EVS or EFVS system) and HUD symbology generator. AIN reporter Amy Wilder got a chance to take a look at this technology up close at the recent NBAA-BACE show in Las Vegas.

New developments and products in avionics, specifically about aircraft electronics in the cockpit.
