I'm clueless in this space but I'd imagine the cost of adding these sensors(installation, ongoing maintenance, certification etc) to airplanes is non-negligible? I assume you're targeting small personal aircraft for the sensor array and not some airline with a fleet of 737s?

The sensors are mounted internally to the window in order to avoid any sort of external retrofit work, tunnel testing, FAA approval, etc. The MVP is actually just an app that uses the phone's camera to the same effect. We're talking to a number of carriers and exploring all the other deployment options as well (including a frequent flyer revenue share program).
