Abstract

748,819. Electric indicating systems. SVENSKA AEROPLAN AKTIEBOLAGET. Sept. 15, 1954, No. 6278/55. Divided out of and Addition to 748,789. Class 40(1) In apparatus of the kind described in the parent Specification responsive to an aircraft fuel gauge 7 and altimeter 11 for producing on a C.R. oscillograph 2 a ring trace 3 representing in radius the remaining aircraft range, the X and Y quadrature voltages derived from phase splitter 14 for application to the C.R.O. deflection members 16, 18 and 15, 17 are mixed in a resistance summation network 20 with corresponding X and Y correction voltages from the stator coils of a goniometer 22 whose rotor coil is adjusted by control 25 in accordance with wind direction and is energized through transformer 38 from potentiometer 21 adjusted by control 26 in accordance with the computed distance gained or lost derived from the product of wind velocity and estimated time of flight. The ring trace showing remaining available flight distance is thus corrected for wind velocity and direction, and may be switchably displayed in alternation with the display of a spot defining the positional co-ordinates of the aircraft, produced by the apparatus 29 described in Specification 748,641. The goniometer may be capacitative.
