2015 INNOVATORS CONTEST
There are lots of companies in the helicopter industry, both large and small, who are innovative but go unnoticed. The Rotorcraft Pro Innovators Contest set out to fi x that by soliciting submissions of products and services considered to be innovative. We received dozens of entries from big companies like Airbus and Rockwell Collins, as well as from small companies like TT Aerospace and Helipad Kneeboards.
Once all submissions were in, a neutral panel narrowed the fi eld down to the top 20, which were then presented via Rotorcraft Pro’s Facebook page for a social media vote-off where 4,900 votes were cast.
The top three fi nishers are receiving prestigious engraved glass awards (with all associated bragging rights) and the winner is also being awarded $5,000 worth of advertising in Rotorcraft Pro. Thanks to all the innovators and pioneers out there who make products and provide services that keep our industry moving forward! Here are the top 10 Rotorcraft Pro Innovators ...
WINNER! AirEL Illuminated & Thermal Identifi cation
For over 50 years, identifi cation of public safety vehicles has been through the use of black vinyl roof numbers. While this has been adequate during the day, visibility at night has been a challenge. AirEL has developed an innovative solution by introducing their patented illuminated and thermal identifi cation for police, fi re, marine, airport and military applications. The ultra-thin lighted platforms utilize electroluminescent technology to illuminate in aviation blue or aviation green colors. For stealth identifi cation, AirEL developed its patented thermal technology which allows helicopter pilots and drones with thermal cameras to identify vehicles.
