Several Programs And Certifications To Be Announced At
NBAA
Safe Flight Instrument Corporation, the longest privately-held
avionics manufacturer under continuous management, marks this
year’s NBAA convention with the celebration of its 65th
anniversary and the announcement of several new programs and
certifications.
Established in October, 1946 to develop the invention of Leonard
Greene’s stall warning system, the company has gone on to
pioneer some of aviation’s most important safety and
performance products including wind shear warning, AutoPower
(automatic throttle system), SCAT, angle-of-attack sensors and
systems and helicopter exceedance warning and powerline detection.
Today, Safe Flight provides equipment to all segments of the
industry and has a product installed base on nearly two-thirds of
the world’s aircraft.
Safe Flight has continued to prosper and grow under the
leadership of Leonard’s son Randall Greene who stated.
“This year’s NBAA marks a significant milestone for
Safe Flight and our entire staff. We have seen significant advances
in aircraft avionics over the past 65 years and we have been on the
leading edge of developing new technologies and enhancing our
existing product base to meet and exceed our customers evolving
requirements.”
This growth is marked by the recent announcement of several new
programs, including the development of Safe Flight’s speed
control system on the Cessna Corvallis and 208, the Lancair
Evolution, Quest KODIAK and Viking Twin Otter. Additionally, Safe
Flight is in the final stages of certifying AutoPower on the
Gulfstream G150, the Hawker 800 Series and the Cessna Citation X -
all of which are slated to be available to customers by the end of
this year.
On the military side, Safe Flight has just completed evaluation
flight tests for its exceedance warning system on the US Army
Apache helicopter and advances on its long-term partnership of
supplying equipment on the US Air Force RC-135, which is equipped
with nearly every product Safe Flight manufactures.
As Randall reflects on the company’s achievements, he
looks toward the future. “With our continued investments in
R&D projects, infrastructure, new technologies and our
commitment to providing value-added products to our customers, I
look forward to the future of the aviation industry and the impact
Safe Flight will have on it.”
Safe Flight will exhibit at NBAA in booth #N5515.
