Boom Supersonic, the company building the world’s fastest airliner, has chosen Universal Avionics’ (UA) ClearVision Enhanced Flight Vision System (EFVS) for its Overture aircraft. This partnership between the two companies equips the maturing supersonic aircraft with the a state-of-the-art vision system, combining the latest head-wearable display and augmented reality technology.
The system installed on Overture will include Universal’s second-generation head-wearable device, SkyLens II, along with the EVS-5000 multispectral camera, connected switches and computer units, and the Aperture visual management system. By combining multiple cameras and sensors, the system uses augmented reality to expand the pilot’s acuity of the real-world environment, giving them enhanced situational awareness and passenger safety.
Overture's design and supersonic characteristics make Universal's advanced vision system a strong fit for the aircraft. Universal Avionics, a market leader in EFVS, has leveraged years of research and development to develop ClearVision for these unique environments. ClearVision’s Head-Wearable Display system is the ideal solution for Overture’s flight deck.
