Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book evaluates the development of a vital aviation technology known as the "radio landing system." Following the invention of radar during World War II, the author chronicles the rapid scientific advancements that led to the first experimental use of this system in 1931 at the Newark Municipal Airport. The author thoroughly analyzes the technical details of the system's component elements, including runway localizing beacons, landing beams, marker beacons, and monitoring and communication systems. The book also details the coordination of receiving and indicating equipment, allowing pilots to make safe landings despite poor visibility conditions. The author explains that during tests, pilots navigated solely by radio, landing successfully even in zero visibility and crosswinds. The book not only provides a historical account of this groundbreaking invention but also underscores its significance in the advancement of aviation safety and efficiency.
