Description

Nowadays, almost everybody understands the importance of wind as a sustainable energy source. However, not everybody likes a wind turbine close by. Some people especially dislike the bright red warning lamps (obstacle lights), which have to shine at night, showing airplanes and helicopters the position of a wind turbine. This is where Lanthan Safe Sky (LSS) comes into play: Founded as a joint venture between the three companies AIR Avionics, RECASE and Lanthan in 2020, the company’s mission is to create a safe, market-mature, cost-effective and sustainable detection technology.
