Airborne Digital Geophysical Mapping

The Sky Research Helicopter Magnetometry (HeliMag) system is a helicopter-borne array of magnetometers designed to collect Geophysical data from low flying rotary wing aircraft.  

The airborne sensor platform houses an array of seven magnetometer sensors in a specialized boom mounted forward of the helicopter to minimize interference from the aircraft rotor, engine and avionics.  The forward mounted design puts the boom in clear view of the pilot to allow precise low-level flying in a safe manner.

Sky Research has also conducted research and testing using a light sport fixed wing aircraft platform.
