Unexplained code 51 is a handle.

The apparatus for preventing algae collision in the airport runway of the present invention configured as described above,

The machine is set to operate automatically according to the time of the aircraft's take-off and landing and the time when the tide is active, or when the operator moves on a vehicle or on foot, the weather conditions at the airport and the flight, landing and tide of the aircraft are visually observed. By judging and discriminating, the device is operated by remotely controlling the device while communicating with the radio tower 11 or another worker.

In general, the runway (1) at airports tends to be installed in areas where airflow always moves in a constant direction depending on the season.

The migratory birds that travel by air currents are relatively distributed around the airport compared to the birds that continue to inhabit an area.

As a result, the accidents caused by migratory birds are predominant in the vicinity of airports.

Therefore, in order to prevent a bird collision accident at the airport, it is necessary to sufficiently consider the ecological environment around the airport and establish appropriate measures.

For example, in Korea,

Since Korea is geographically located on the migration route of migratory birds, large-scale migration of migratory birds is repeated every year, and more than 50 accidents of large and small bird collisions occur annually.

In other words, looking at the regional characteristics of Korea,

In Korea, as the seasons of April to May and September to October change, and as migratory birds search for food and move at a speed of about 20 to 60 km per hour, collisions frequently occur at that time, so automatic timers and gun barrels (33) Orientation to North in April-May, south to September-October,

Since there are more driving currents than nocturnal, the timer is set to operate when taking off and landing and in the evening.

As the altitude increases, there is no oxygen and no upward air flow, so there is almost no collision at altitudes above 750m, and about 39% of them occur in the approach phase of the landing and landing process, especially 73% at 150m. It is necessary to set the target altitude of 33 to about 150 m.

In addition, by placing two or more guns 33, it is possible to strike a range of about 30 degrees in azimuth,

Bird strikes occur at moments that are too short for the pilot to maneuver, so only precautionary measures to combat the birds before landing are absolutely necessary.

And as migratory birds sense the flow of air and make an emergency and downhill, when fighting birds, artificially shaking the air layer in the downhill area will help the algae that sense the abnormal flow of air bypass and escape from the abnormal airspace,

When the air flow converting means in the turret 3 is operated toward the side where the migratory birds approach,

At the moment of the explosion, the air temporarily fluctuates and the air layer shakes, causing changes in the airflow to change the course so that the detected algae divert out of the aircraft's direction of travel and bypass the aircraft.

In addition to the above, the normal operation is performed by a timer set for the time zone of the landing and the movement of the birds near the airport runway (1),

When an unexpected weather condition occurs, or when an aircraft's movement, landing, and tide movements occur, the operator visually identifies and judges this while moving on a vehicle or on foot, and communicates remotely while communicating with a radio tower or other worker through a wireless transceiver. The device is adjusted separately to operate.

Therefore, according to the apparatus for preventing the collision of birds on the airport runway of the present invention,

Depending on the time of flight and landing of the aircraft and the time period during which the tide is active, air or air conversion means operate automatically or manually.

By temporarily changing the air flow in the direction of movement of the bird approaching the aircraft's take-off and landing path, and inducing the bird to sense the air flow change to change the direction of movement by itself to induce the aircraft's take-off and landing path to bypass,

It has the advantage of protecting passengers and aircraft more safely from the danger of bird collision.
