Turbulence-Detecting Lasers

The Laser Turbulence Detectors Will Help to Ease Flying Fears

— August 14, 2013 — World
Many people have a fear of flying, and hopefully with the laser turbulence detectors, people will have an easier time traveling.

When up in the air any little bump you feel is terrifying, and you feel helpless and are at the mercy of your pilot. These laser detectors are designed to help predict when and where the largest amount of turbulence will take place. Once the pilot knows this, they will be able to make adjustments in flight patterns in order to help ensure a safer and more comfortable flight. Currently these detectors are only in a few planes, but if this proves to be useful there may be a full scale deployment on other planes. These laser turbulence detectors may be the future in flying.
Trend Themes
1. Laser Turbulence Detectors - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop more advanced and accurate laser turbulence detectors for enhanced safety during air travel.
2. Predictive Turbulence Technology - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop advanced predictive turbulence technology that can accurately forecast turbulence areas in real-time to help pilots adjust flight patterns.
3. Flight Comfort Solutions - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design new solutions, such as adjustable seating or cabin layouts, that can improve passenger comfort during turbulent flights.
Industry Implications
1. Aviation - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate laser turbulence detectors and predictive turbulence technology into the aviation industry to enhance air travel safety and passenger comfort.
2. Aerospace Technology - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with aerospace technology companies to develop and implement advanced turbulence-detecting lasers for more precise turbulence prediction.
3. Travel Technology - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create mobile applications or wearable devices that provide real-time turbulence alerts and personalized comfort solutions for air travelers.
