NOV 10, 2003 (newstodate): FedEx has signed a contract with Israeli company Elbit's US subsidiary for delivery of its Enhanced Vision System.
The system will be implemented on all FedEx Express' Boeing MD-10 and MD-11 and Airbus A300 and A310 aircraft.
The All Weather Window EVS, employs an advanced InfraRed sensor which presents an image projected on any raster video capable Head Up Display and Head Down Display, providing the pilot with a forward-looking picture overlaying the outside view.
The system allows the pilot to view lights and ground features such as runways, aircraft and buildings at night and in low visibility conditions.
The pilots and their passengers immediately benefit from lower landing minima, improved flight safety, and increased situational awareness.
