Key Takeaways:

Radiant Technology has released a new taxi camera to improve forward visibility for pilots of tailwheel aircraft, particularly addressing blind spots during ground operations.
The camera mounts flush on the top wing and displays on a 7-inch LCD, providing a direct view of what's in front of the experimental aircraft.
Beyond taxiing, the system can also be used in flight to offer a visual horizon and red crosshairs, assisting pilots with touchdown alignment during landings.
Available for experimental aircraft, the system costs $375 and features simple installation with connection to the aircraft's power and a single cable to the foldable display.

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.
