Runway Indicator Device

Abstract

An indicator device for indicating a direction of wind includes at least one mounting structure. The indicator device is adapted to be mounted to a pole arranged on a side of a runway for an airplane. The at least one mounting structure is adapted to facilitate a mounting of the indicator device to the pole. The indicator device also includes an indicator coupled to the at least one mounting structure and adapted to rotate around the pole. The indicator includes a light to indicate the direction of wind, and a drift plate coupled to the light to align the light in the direction of the wind. The drift plate causes a rotation of the light around the pole as the wind hits the drift plate.
