Radar altimeters are the sole indicators of altitude above a terrain. Spectrally adjacent 5G cellular bands pose significant risks of jamming altimeters and impacting flight landing and takeoff.

Excited to discuss the newest integration from Quantum Systems the Phase One P5! Nick Onelio and I are going to get into the specifics of the high resolution Phase One camera and its integration with the Quantum Systems Trinity Pro. We will showcase example datasets, and explain the multitude of different applications it can benefit. Register now to learn #HowYouMeasureMatters Frontier Precision Unmanned

Could witness RLV LEX landing this time. A marvellous sight to see our hardwork assist something go real smooth. Radar Altimeter on board RLV has played a critical role of assisting NGC, specially during the last phase of landing. https://lnkd.in/d9ubez3Z

Accurate and reliable ground-based geolocation is challenging due to the Earth's curvature and limited radio horizon. Enhancing line-of-sight is crucial for TDoA systems, as it directly impacts positioning accuracy and reliability. To see further, you need to go higher.

Definition of aircraft altimeter and remembering TK1951 flight An altimeter is a crucial instrument in aircraft technology, used to measure an aircraft's altitude or height above a specified reference point, typically above sea level. Accurate altitude measurement is essential for safe flight conditions and collision avoidance. There are two main types of altimeters used in aircraft: 1. Barometric Altimeter: This type measures the static pressure at the aircraft’s current location and converts it into an altitude reading above a standard reference level, typically sea level. 2. Radio Altimeter: Also known as a radar altimeter, this device measures the distance between the aircraft and the ground directly beneath it by sending out radio waves and measuring their return time. It provides precise altitude readings relative to the terrain, which is useful during approaches and landings. For detailed information on other types of altimeters and to remember the TK1951 crash caused by radio altimeter error, use the link below. #simpleflying link: https://lnkd.in/d2hDqXMZ

https://lnkd.in/eWJeyTjk No flaps or rudders? The X-65 is going to be a test bed for proof-of-concept in using pressurized air instead of traditional flight control technologies. With speeds up to Mach 7, this should be a robust challenge for proving out the AFC (active flow control) concept.

Biomimicry is the practice of observing and imitating nature's systems, processes, and forms to solve human problems: Peregrine falcons inspired a new class of drones capable of executing high-speed maneuvers with precision and equipped with advanced cameras for capturing crystal-clear footage. The migratory patterns of Geese and the collective movement of Locust swarms have contributed to the development of efficient, resilient drone swarm systems. Bird and Owl Feather structures have been emulated in wing design to enhance lift and reduce drag as well as reduce noise in aircraft and wind turbines for quieter flights. I think this is pretty cool. #Engineering #Aerospace #Defense #FunFact

Basic flight instruments are essential tools in aviation, situated on an aircraft's instrument panel. They provide crucial information to pilots for safe operation. Key instruments include the Airspeed Indicator (ASI), Attitude Indicator (AI), Altimeter, Heading Indicator (HI), Turn Coordinator, and Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI). These instruments offer data on airspeed, aircraft orientation, altitude, heading, turn coordination, and vertical speed. Pilots rely on this information for navigation, maintaining proper orientation, and ensuring safe flight in various conditions. Modern aircraft may also incorporate electronic displays and advanced avionics systems for enhanced situational awareness. #galaxyaerosgh #space #spaceexploration #spacenews
