Why 16% of Helicopter Accidents Shouldn’t Happen

Wire Detection
Helicopter Safety

Power lines and other aerial wires can be very difficult to see from a helicopter. Consequently, there are many examples where lines were not seen before it was too late. According to global aviation reports, 16% of all helicopter accidents are caused by wires or other unseen obstacles.

At Kleon Solutions, we believe these accidents are avoidable. We’re developing smart, lightweight detection tools that give pilots a clearer picture of their environment - in real time. Our system detects aerial wires in areas where maps and databases fall short. It’s visibility when you need it most - especially in unfamiliar or unregulated landing zones.
