According to the company, the LifeVac deal extends the fleet’s safety systems from flight-deck technology into cabin medical preparedness, reinforcing Flyte’s standardized, single-aircraft-type strategy. **Marc Sellouk**, Founder of Flyte, said, “Safety isn’t one feature. It’s a system, and it’s our foundation. We chose the Vision Jet, standardized our fleet, and built our training, maintenance and procedures around it for one reason: to protect the people onboard.” **Arthur Lih**, Founder and CEO of LifeVac, said, “Choking emergencies happen fast and when you are in the air, there is no one to call. By pairing LifeVac’s life-saving airway clearance technology with the Vision Jet’s industry-leading safety systems, we’re helping create one of the most comprehensive safety platforms in the skies.” ## Patents Add Fuel A day earlier, Catheter Precision announced two new patents.
