VisionSafe

VisionSafe is a company focused on providing vision in vision impaired conditions for individuals in common land and air environments as well as marine, submarine, and scuba diving environments. Their patented EVAS system for pilots allows them to see to safely control and land when confronted with dense, blinding smoke in the cockpit. This system has been certified by the Federal Aviation Administration since 2001. The company addresses the dangers of smoke in the cockpit, highlighting the significant number of smoke, fire, fumes, or explosions reported by the FAA between 2000 – 2015. The EVAS system has gained widespread acceptance in the aviation industry and has earned over 80 FAA and global certifications. Notably, over 600 operators, including industry leaders like UPS, Fed Ex, U.S. Military, FAA, JetBlue Airways, Alaska Airlines, and business aircraft operators, have chosen to equip their fleet with EVAS. In 2003, Fed Ex and JetBlue Airways were among the first airlines to address smoke in the cockpit by installing EVAS, and UPS committed its entire air cargo carrier fleet to the system. Additionally, the Gulfstream G650 became the first aircraft certified with the EVAS smoke protection standard. The company also boasts accolades, including the Aerospace Industry Award for Safety and winning the Gulfstream 2015 & 2017 Supplier of the Year award. The company was founded in 1989 and is headquartered in the United States. Its latest investment was a Private Equity Round investment on 23 April 2024, which was funded by The Stephens Group.
