Radiant Technology has released a new taxi camera that it says improves visibility for pilots who confront blind spots while operating tailwheel aircraft.

The camera, available for experimental aircraft only at this time, is flush mounted to the top wing and visible on a 7-inch LCD display, allowing the pilot to see what is directly in front of the aircraft. The display folds into a case when not in use.
