Company Summary

SkovAeroTek is a new company being established to produce a family of patented cockpit displays that can mitigate the #1 killer in aviation: Loss of Control – In Flight. Our “Autonomous Low Energy State Awareness (ALESA) Display” will help pilots keep control of their aircraft in stressful situations that lead to fatal accidents. It will also be used as an emergency backup when normal airspeed information is not available due to system failures.
