The Vertical Flight Society (VFS) dinner on September, 26, 2018 featured a fantastic presentation from John Tylko, Aurora Flight Sciences’ Chief Innovation Officer and Vice President of Innovation.
Sponsored by FLIR, the dinner showcased the developing roles of autonomy in vertical lift.
Aurora shared their successes from the Autonomous Aerial Cargo/Utility System (AACUS), engineered to enable the United States Marines to rapidly deploy of an autonomous helicopter to an unprepared environment, while FLIR demonstrated the advanced capabilities of its sensor suites with amazingly detailed real-time footage.
Look out for the next VFS dinner on Monday, November 5th, featuring PHI’s Director of Airworthiness, Tony Gonzalez!
