Safe Flight Instrument Corporation produces a wide array of devices to make flying safer and more manageable. From their earliest flying lessons, all pilots are made familiar with the urgent whine of the stall warning indicator, the lifesaving alarm that sounds when airflow over the wings has slowed to a critical level. Safe Flight founder Leonard M. Greene invented that instrument in the late 1940s, and went on to earn more than 100 other patents.

The company has produced more than 600,000 stall warning indicators. Other products include angle-of-attack systems, airborne wind shear warning systems, automatic throttles, and engine monitoring devices. Customers include most aircraft manufacturers, as well as the U.S. military and business jet operators.
