New weather technologies help keep the aircraft safe during thunderstorms

Storm thunderstorms often cause panic on flights. For example, a severe thunderstorm operation on Qantas A380 flying from Lon Don (England) to Sydney recently drove many passengers off the bench and fell to the floor. Bad weather sometimes results in injuries to passengers and damage to the aircraft, even to the loss of aircraft, resulting in heavy casualties.

The current weather radar system equipped with large commercial aircraft can reduce the risk, but in case of emergency or due to high work pressure, the pilot can adjust the radar incorrectly. or read the wrong data, threatening flight safety. The weather radar systems have been upgraded by European aircraft manufacturer Airbus with more modern technology to overcome these shortcomings.

Pilots will work harder with new weather radar systems.

Automated tilting technology as well as top and bottom safety checks will help pilots recognize early on the road and make more accurate decisions while in control. . Physicist Philip Brown of the UK's National Weather Service said that by storing and processing radar data, the system could display the necessary warning information to the pilot to assess the level. the risk for the aircraft.

Honeywell Technology Group, one of the world's largest providers of aerospace products and services, has also launched a new generation of 3D Intuvue weather maps. This system automatically scans the upper, lower and front airspace of the aircraft based on sensors to determine the humidity, temperature and some other data of the battery pack located at the top of the aircraft. Computer systems then analyze the external threats and display them on a 3D map in real time. "Instead of requiring the pilot to tilt, the radar antenna will automatically scan the front airspace within a 512km radius and at an altitude of 18.3km - the widest range of weather tests available today. Public can recognize signs of instability such as chaotic motion of air, hail and thunder, " - said Ratan Khatwa, chief engineer of Honeywell.

The two modern weather radar systems have been installed on a number of US aircraft.
