L'EVS de Max Viz disponible chez Rotor & Aircraft

Rotor & Aircraft est le représentant en France du constructeur Max Viz qui fabrique un système d'augmentation de la vision, l'EVS-1500.

La fonction de l'EVS-1500 est de procurer une vision de jour aux équipages d'aéronefs qui volent de nuit.

L'EVS-1500 est avant tout un système Infra Rouge qui augmente la sécurité.

L'EVS-1500 est un ensemble compact extrèmement léger qui ne pèse que 2,3 kg. Son installation en rétrofit est très simple.

L'installation de l'EVS-1500 est déjà approuvée dans de nombreux Jets d'affaires tels que le Falcon, le Challenger, le Citation et le Gulfstream.

Dans le domaine des hélicoptères sanitaires et de secours en Europe, l'EVS-1500 est déjà en service chez plusieurs opérateurs.

La REGA en Suisse exploite 11 Agusta-109 équipés avec l'EVS. L'exploitant polonais LPR a également équipé ses 23 EC-135 avec l'EVS-1500.

Rotor & Aircraft assure la commercialisation de l'EVS-1500 et se charge également de la validation auprès de l'autorité européenne EASA des certifications déjà obtenues par Max Viz auprès de l'autorité américaine FAA.

Au mois d'avril 2011, Rotor & Aircraft a engagé un dossier auprès de l'EASA pour la validation de l'installation de l'EVS-1500 dans l'hélicoptère EC-135.

D'autres dossiers de validation sont prévus pour le second semestre 2011.

"The company has over 50 different certified aircraft installations covering more than 200 different aircraft types ranging from large VIP jets and turbine helicopters, to small personal piston-driven aircraft. While I hesitate to say the EVS industry has reached a tipping point, I do think itis safe to say we are close. People are now getting EVS."
The market for EVS is growing and new suppliers are beginning to enter the market. According to Max-Viz estimates, the total commercial aircraft installed base - across all vendors – now exceeds 1,700 systems (including Max-Viz 1,000 units).
The Max-Viz EVS-1500 is the only EVS product featuring pilot selectable optical wide angle and telephoto views and is the most popular EVS on the market for turboprop and jet engine powered aircraft.

The Max-Viz EVS-600 is the lightest and most affordable EVS and was designed specifically for the operating environment of the general aviation community. This unit is also FAA certified and has been installed on various piston driven aircraft, among them the entire line of Cessna single engine piston aircraft, selected Piper aircraft and the Robinson R-44. The EVS-600 is available directly from the Cirrus factory on Garmin Perspective TM equipped SR 20 and SR22 aircraft.
