Helipad dust control and helipad brownout solutions
Control Helipad Dust, Improve Pilot Vision, and Save Lives
Fact: Heavy dust on military helipads and the brownout conditions that result require helipad brownout solutions and effective dust control. In the balance: lives. In fact, a recent study by the Office of the US Secretary of Defense concluded that 80 percent of the US military’s 320 rotorcraft crashes during the last decade have been caused by degraded visual awareness. They have, sadly, already taken their toll on U.S. troops and coalition operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Untreated, dust on military helipads and other landing areas can blind pilots, erode helicopter rotor blades, and affect helicopters’ engines, filters and electronic equipment. And, of course, the deserts, rocky fields and mountain tops on which military helicopters must land make brownout solutions more difficult to put in place. Midwest’s patented dust control products and specialized delivery systems ensure efficient, reliable application.
