Lexavia Integrated Systems' latest enhanced vision systems sensor, the LFS6000, is now available for the Eclipse 550 twin-engine jet. This advanced technology sensor can be seen on the first production Eclipse 550 at the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) Annual Meeting and Convention, Oct. 22-24 in Las Vegas, Nev., exhibit C10844. In addition, representatives from Lexavia will also be available in exhibit C9238, showcasing their other advanced aviation technology products.

The LFS6000 EVS sensor is the lightest and most aerodynamic enhanced vision system sensor available today. Measuring only 4.85 inches in length, 2.1 inches in width and 1.42 inches in height, this ultra low profile sensor and housing were specifically designed to be recessed into the Eclipse 550 airframe, significantly reducing both ice accretion and drag. supplemental type certificate (STC) approval on the LFS6000 for Eclipse 550 and other aircraft is expected as furloughed FAA personnel return to work.

“Lexavia EVS sensors are the best in their category technology-wise, as well as being the lightest and most aerodynamic. With one single point of installation, the structural impact to the aircraft is minimal,” said Bill Van Zwoll, Lexavia's director of sensors and integrated products.

Configured with high-performance 640 x 480 resolution, the LFS6000 uses the latest generation of vanadium oxide long-wave infrared technology and provides 2x electronic zoom, polarity control and image enhancement. Designed to directly interface with the Avio IFMS in the Eclipse 550, the LFS6000 provides real time enhanced vision capability during darkness, smoke, bad weather and other limited visibility situations. This allows pilots to better identify terrain, structures, vehicles and other aircraft on and near runways, offering added situational awareness, and increasing safety.

“Advanced technologies like EVS enhance the safety of aircraft and offer pilots added capability and peace-of-mind when flying in adverse situations. We are proud to be included on the Eclipse 550 and look forward to providing pilots the added situational awareness and increased safety that enhanced vision systems offer,” added Van Zwoll.
