You want the powered aircraft to use it also?
And you know that FLARM actually works at those speeds?
It's true that it hasn't been tested much in practice, but FLARM is
definitely designed to work in powered aircraft as well. Actually, it
is already installed in many SEP aircraft in Europe, especially in
those susceptible to operate in the vicinity of glider crowded areas.
250kts at a range of 2-3 km still gives you 15s of reaction time.
Of course, neither FLARM nor any anti-collision system is a replacement
for SEE AND AVOID which should be the highest priority of good
airmanship.
