radioaaltopulssit
Radioaltopulssit, also known as radio altimeters, are electronic instruments used to measure the altitude of an aircraft above the ground. They operate by transmitting a radio signal towards the ground and measuring the time it takes for the signal to bounce back. This time delay is then converted into an altitude reading. Radio altimeters are commonly used in aviation for landing and takeoff operations, as they provide precise altitude information even in low visibility conditions or during nighttime flights. They are typically installed in the aircraft's nose or belly and are essential for ensuring safe and accurate landings. Radio altimeters are also used in other applications, such as in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and helicopters, to provide reliable altitude data for navigation and obstacle avoidance.
