Bavarian State Government Award 2006

As part of the 58th International Craftsmen's Trade Fair in Munich, CAPTRON Electronic GmbH was honoured with the 2006 Bavarian State Government Award. CAPTRON received the award for exceptional technological achievement and innovation in developing HeliCommand, the company's automatic stabilisation system for remote-controlled helicopters. 

During the ceremony, Erwin Huber, Bavarian Minister for Economic Affairs presented the award to Reinhard Bellm, Managing Director of CAPTRON Electronic GmbH. With this world first, CAPTRON succeeded in developing an autopilot that allows model helicopters to hover in the air without external influence. The invention makes learning how to fly a helicopter significantly less difficult. What's more, it enables greatly improved results in professional applications (aerial photography and movie industry, cartography, surveying, ...) and fosters development of new business activities as well.
