Device Can Prevent Aircraft Accidents
A new device can increase aircraft safety during takeoff. During the first 10 seconds of the takeoff roll, the device predicts if the aircraft will reach the sufficient speed for taking off. The idea behind the innovation can be adapted both for small aircraft and large jets.
The device objectively assesses the factual acceleration of an aircraft during the start and, coordinating the data of the accelerometer with the runway length, calculates the prospect of a safe takeoff. The device would also inform the pilot if the aircraft couldn’t safely accelerate.
