Klatt Works Introduces Combined Oxygen Mask/HUD
Company expects FAA approval by February
Klatt Works SAVED system mask
Klatt Works new SAVED system integrates a head-up display into an oxygen mask, enabling pilots to continue to fly even with a cockpit full of smoke.

Safety equipment designer Klatt Works is making its debut at this year’s NBAA-BACE with its Smoke Assured Vision Enhanced Display (SAVED) full-face oxygen mask with integrated head-up display (HUD).

At the show in Las Vegas, the Pleasanton, California company announced the start of its first business aviation supplemental type certificate (STC) for the system, which will see its installation in BLM Aviation’s Gulfstream G550 and pave the way for integration in both the G550 and G450 models. The company has already secured an STC for its use in the Boeing 777 commercial jetliner.
