Just introduced is the GEIGER CO, a carbon monoxide detector designed especially for pilots.
GEIGER CO provides a real time alarm when carbon monoxide levels are dangerously high in the cockpit. The auto calibrating unit includes an aural alarm and a visual LED scale, according to inventor James Wiebe of Chipper Aerospace, Radiant Technology, and Thin Air Energy, based in Wichita, Kansas.
The product was designed as a response to pilot requests, Wiebe noted.
“Pilots want something that is very small, rechargeable, and quickly capable of identifying carbon monoxide,” he said. “Because it is designed to be attached to a keychain, it is also desirable for anyone who travels, for use in truck cabs or hotel rooms, for example.”

- Detects Carbon Monoxide, sounds alarm at approximately 50 ppm
