Paralight - Sky No Longer a Limit

Paralight was designed specifically for purposes of aerial photography. The craft can carry standard photographic equipment, which is connected to a transmitter for relaying the pictures to recording devices such as video cameras, VCRs, or DVDs on the ground. Standard video or digital still cameras can also be mounted on the craft, with the desired photography mode selected prior to takeoff.

Paralight’s inventors say the aircraft can be used as a reliable and speedy means to observation in service of various rescue forces, as well as a supervising tool for officials of national parks, nature reserves, and safaris. Paralight can also be useful for those wishing to capture quality aerial photographs or video in a cost-efficient way; the received pictures can be used to map and track animal movements on the ground as well as provide terrain information for trekkers, farmers or security professionals. Paralight developers say that the system can also be used to serve as an aerial communication antenna, as well as a high-standard photography kit for nature enthusiasts.

The Paralight system - simple operation

“Along with the progression of wireless technologies, we witness an increasing demand for aerial photography solutions. We see this both in firms providing security services, as well as those in charge of the managing catastrophes and natural disasters, which sadly have befallen and continue to threaten populations all over the world” – said Moshe Roimi, CEO of Paralight Aviation. The company has already approached a number of potential clients, with whom they’ve performed several tests of the aircraft’s prototype. In one such experiment, which was conducted in collaboration with an Israeli fire fighter force squad, the craft was tested in a 40-minute flight over the northern part of the country, delivering real-time photos to the teams on the ground.

Roimi told TFOT that Paralight’s technology has a distinctive advantage compared to existing technologies such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), both in terms of purchase and in terms of maintenance and operational costs. Unlike UAVs which usually require a trained personal to operate and maintain, the Paralight can be operated in the field by a single person with very minimal training. The low cost of the system can also make it perfect for use as a backup to more expensive aerial photography systems.

Paralight Aviation looks forward to making additional upgrades to their system – one of the goals the company is pursuing is to improve the aircraft’s abilities to operate in extreme weather conditions. The company also strives to further decrease the device in both size and weight, and to make it easily configurable in a way which will allow it to be ready-to-work within minutes. The inventors say that Paralight’s future model is planned to be controlled by such means as a cellular phones, GPS, or dedicated software, which would have been fed the mission layout and requirements in advance.

Paralight engineers are currently working on the next generation prototype of the airborne craft, which they say will most likely be ready in 12 months time.

About the Author

Paralight have been established in 2004 in a goal to find an effective and professional solution for air photography using a motored remote controlled kite. The Paralight system which we’ve developed allows us to receive an air photo in a video format or still for a variety of use such as: building and installations, archeological digging, tracking animals, and detecting environmental hazard. In its advance version the Paralight system will be used as a vital tool in the works of Search & rescue teams and police activities to maintain order and save lives. Paralight system is environmental friendly. Using an electrical engine the system works quietly and nonpolluting. The system can be activated in a matter of minutes even in hard field conditions.

Are Bush and Cheney "Chicken Hawks" ???

It's now well established that George W. Bush never showed up for National Guard duty for a period of approximately one year, possibly more, in 1972-1973. Despite all the talk about "honor and dignity," President Bush has apparently flushed his down the toilet. President Bush went AWOL!! Cheney himself also received 5 deferments! Both of these men are “Chicken Hawks.”

Bush says he's released all his records...if that's true, then has anyone seen:
Any pages from Bush's flight log
Records from the Flight Inquiry Board convened after Bush was suspended as a pilot
Any evidence of Bush's reclassification into another AFSC after suspension as a pilot
Any photos of George Bush in a military uniform after 1972
Anything at all from any Alabama unit with Bush's name on it
Any copies of form 44a from the Alabama National Guard certifying attendance
Air Force Form 142 (Aviation Service Audit Worksheet) ???

They are 100% chickens, yellow cowards who shirked their duty during Vietnam.

Did you see the look on Bush's face when they told him about 9/11 in that classroom? Boy, was he lost! It took him like 9 minutes before he could get off his chair and go do something.

Cheney is draft-dodger, Bush is no military leader. He's nothing, a twerp, compared to Colin Powell, a REAL hero.
