Contract Corporate Pilot Services
Corvus Aviation maintains a select and well-qualified cadre of former military pilots that provide safety-conscious pilot services to operators in the Eastern US.

Multi-Sensor Design and Employment of Basler BT-67
Corvus Aviation partnered with a large satellite telecommunications company to design, build, and gain regulatory approval for an integrated sensor suite on the turbine-powered version of the venerable DC-3/C-47 Skytrain. The aircraft were to provide a proof of concept for space-based imaging and data analysis capabilities. Corvus Aviation recruited, trained, and employed a small team with experience in Electro-optical cameras, hyperspectral sensors, wide-area motion imagery sensors, synthetic aperture radar, and LiDAR sensors.
Hyperspectral and Wide Area Motion Imagery on Jetstream41
Corvus Aviation worked with a team of program managers and engineers to devise a unique solution for an aerial survey company. The team developed an innovative mounting solution using an array of mirrors to capture maximum data. The Corvus team also recruited qualified sensors operators to assist the client in developing operating procedures, checklists, training programs, and mission execution procedures.
