Forty years ago, a historic non-stop flight around the world faced a critical, invisible threat: deafening engine noise that could cost the pilots their hearing.
Join AVweb’s Matt Ryan at the Sun 'n Fun Aerospace Expo for an exclusive sit-down with Chris from Bose Aviation to celebrate four decades of audio innovation. Discover the fascinating story of how Dr. Bose rushed to develop a revolutionary active noise-canceling prototype to save the pilots of the legendary 1986 Voyager flight, sparking a transformation in cockpit communication that continues to this day.
From those pioneering early prototypes to the modern flight deck, Bose has completely redefined what it means to fly in comfort. Get an inside look at the evolution of their iconic headsets and find out exactly what separates their latest flagship models. We dive into the whisper-quiet jet environments perfectly suited for the ProFlight and explore the versatile, ultra-comfortable, low-clamping-force design of the highly popular A30.
Is a premium headset really worth the investment for a student pilot just starting out? Tune in to find out why crystal-clear audio and noise cancellation aren't just luxury features, but critical safety tools for mastering ATC communication. Watch the full interview to hear the story behind the silence and see what the next generation of aviation audio looks like!
