LASER SYSTEM FOR INITIAL CORRECTION OF HEADING OF FLYING VEHICLE AT PARKING APRON Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: aviation navigation. SUBSTANCE: laser system for initial correction of heading of flying vehicle at parking apron includes transceiver installed outside of flying vehicle and optical prismatic reflector made fast to adjustment fixture 8 anchored on body of flying vehicle. Angle 90^°+ γ at vertex of prismatic reflector is realized depending on condition , where δ is value of deviation of reflected beam with respect to incident beam; D is distance between reflector and transceiver. Carrier 18 is attached to front strut of landing gear forming kinematic lever pair. EFFECT: enhanced accuracy and noise immunity, ensured all-weather capability and reduced time of preparation of flying vehicle for take-off. 2 cl, 3 dwg
