Pyper Vision
We're developing an aerospace solution that disperses fog to provide the visibility that pilots and air traffic controllers require. We achieve this through dispersing a hygroscopic powder from a drone to absorb the moisture in the air. By doing so we can quickly eliminate fog disruption, allowing air travel with increased safety and certainty.
