- Helmet-style cockpit vision system aims to change how pilots see in low visibility
A helmet-style cockpit vision system called AerAware, developed by AerSale and Universal Avionics, has received FAA certification for Boeing 737 Next Generation aircraft. The system uses a nose-mounted camera and wearable head displays to enhance pilot visibility in low-visibility conditions. FAA data shows a decline in runway incursions from 2023 to 2025.
- Aviation officials in US turn to AI for combating runway issues
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is using artificial intelligence, specifically Palantir's AI tool Foundry, to analyze data and predict runway safety issues. The project, funded by a GOP-led megalaw, aims to reduce runway incursions by integrating scattered data sources and has already led to safety measures like banning parallel landings at San Francisco International Airport.
