Abstract
A reflector for use as an aircraft runway marker (10) has an arcuate surface (12) with reflective foil (14) applied thereto. The arcuate surface is mounted on a pole (16) with spacers (18) between the pole and the rear of the arcuate surface. The spacers decrease in width progressively up the pole forming the arcuate surface into a complex curve capable of reflecting light from an approaching aircraft to illuminate or demarcate a runway.
Claims25
A reflector device characterised in that it includes an arcuate surface having one or more light reflective zones and being mountable on a support element, the curvature of the arcuate surface being a compound curve permitting visibility of light reflected therefrom, from a range of angles of inclination to the vertical, the arcuate surface being convex relative to the light source.
A runway emergency landing kit comprising threshold reflectors, reflectors and portable green and red lights arranged spaced apart on the required length of cabling, and a wind sock.
