Ready For Takeoff - Turn Your Aviation Passion Into A Career

Laser attacks against aircraft are a major problem. There were over 7000 laser strikes against aircraft in the past year. Increasing the threat is the easy availability of hand-held lasers and the increased power of modern lasers. Laser strikes have the potential to distract and blind pilots, and a solution is essential to aviation safety. Dr. George Palikaras is a scientist who saw the need to protect pilots' eyes from laser illumination. His company, Metameterial Technologies, has developed a solution, and protection is available now.
