Aerial Projection: Saturday Night at the Movies
Fantastic concept, has anyone seen it from the ground, is it visible?
|
Yes it is. I was on the team that just did this. Launching and recovering a banner at night was also a record. We launched it from a barge on the Hudson River. I will post more pictures when I have better internet.

I did three banners on the same cable at night: does that qualify for a record, too? ;) |
Does it take a Huey to haul the Projector Equipment?

John---I can only guess it did, but not sure if a record has been established.
Sasless---Yep, or we may try a 76 in Los Angeles, you can see the the projectors at about 0.29 in the video---they are HUGE. Bell Ringer--We used batteries but will probably hook it into the standby generator next time. I have written an article about it but need to run it by Simon as a lot of it is proprietary information. Will hopefully post it tonight. |
Was anything used to stabilise the projectors?

FH1100 pilot is proud to say that he knows the young man who flew the banner ship, and you would be hard-pressed to find finer, smoother, more competent pilot. I'm glad it was him and not me ;)
Great job by all involved. |

knows the young man who flew the banner ship The projectors were stabilized and insulated from vibration. |
Ahh my bad, Gordy. I thought when I saw him that he was your nighttime 407 pilot as well. Either way, if that pilot was involved I'm sure he did his best to make the operation a success, and I'm also sure he made things enjoyable and fun. There's no one who loves flying more than Brandon ;-)

Yep, Brandon was one of the safety pilots and did the flying back and forth to Connecticut for the test flights.

There is a promising future for motion picture banners. In 10? years to come, more likely one helicopter towing a led fabric banner.
Love to know what the limitations are in regard to weight and drag. Mickjoebill |
