    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beechcraft_AQM-37_Jayhawk

    Some of this batch were intended for low-altitude operation and fitted with a radar altimeter, and others were intended for high-altitude operation and had a barometric altimeter. The Army later ordered over 400 improved non-recoverable Model 1102 variants of the AQM-37A. The USAF evaluated the AQM-37 in the early 1970s but was slow to adopt it.

  3. Attitude indicator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attitude_indicator

    The Attitude Direction Indicator (ADI), or Flight Director Indicator (FDI), is an AI integrated with a Flight Director System (FDS). The ADI incorporates a computer that receives information from the navigation system, such as the AHRS, and processes this information to provide the pilot with a 3-D flight trajectory cue to maintain a desired path.

    Each system consists of three unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), a ground control system and support equipment. Elbit Systems also included a spare used Hermes 450 UAV as part of the deal, for a total of 9 Hermes 900 UAVs and 4 Hermes 450 UAVs. These units will be operated by the 300th Air Intelligence and Security Wing. [40] Singapore

    The cockpit of a Slingsby T-67 Firefly two-seat light airplane.The flight instruments are visible on the left of the instrument panel. Flight instruments are the instruments in the cockpit of an aircraft that provide the pilot with data about the flight situation of that aircraft, such as altitude, airspeed, vertical speed, heading and much more other crucial information in flight.

  6. Buckeye system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckeye_System

    The EO system utilizes a CCD camera and an embedded imaging computer to obtain the desired images while accounting for the movement of the aerial system to which it is attached. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The digital camera is able to operate at exposures as short as 1/4000 sec, eliminating motion blur for images acquired at typical ground velocities of 110 ...

  7. Heading indicator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heading_indicator

    The heading indicator is arranged such that the gyro axis is used to drive the display, which consists of a circular compass card calibrated in degrees. The gyroscope is spun either electrically, or using filtered air flow from a suction pump (sometimes a pressure pump in high altitude aircraft) driven from the aircraft's engine. Because the ...

    The entire system can be transported in a standard 20' Conex container which can also be used as the center of operations, or on a single 463L master pallet. The system can be transported by truck, ship, or any suitable transport aircraft such as a C-130 or C-17, and can also be airlifted by helicopter. The transportable systems can be unpacked ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ardupilot

    The free software approach to ArduPilot code development is similar to that of the Linux Operating system and the GNU Project, and the PX4/Pixhawk and Paparazzi Project, where low cost and availability enabled hobbyists to build autonomous small remotely piloted aircraft, such as micro air vehicles and miniature UAVs. The drone industry ...
