Most
conventional aircraft have a rounded shape. This shape creates a very efficient radar reflector.. Means that no matter where the radar reflector signal hits the plane, some of the signal gets reflected back

However, some military aircraft are designed and constructed to be non-reflective - the so-called stealth aircraft.

A stealth aircraft is made up of completely flat surfaces and very sharp edges. edges. When a radar signal hits a stealth plane, the signal reflects away at an angle. Surfaces on a stealth aircraft also can absorb radar energy as well. So, this aircraft become invisible. invisible.

AIRBORNE WEATHER RADAR (AWR) 2.
Introduction Home
Previous

Help
Airborne Weather Radar (AWR) (AWR) is used to provide to provide the pilots about weather ahead. The installation installation include weather radar antenna antenna located in the nose of the aircraft and weather radar display inside the cockpit. The radar radar information information can be displayed displayed in combination with with the aircraft route on the EFIS Navigation Display (ND) Weather radar is used for severe weather avoidance

The antenna is housed in a radome made of composite materials located located in the nose of the aircraft.

A antenna which sweeps side to side side transmits transmits Super High Frequency (SHF) signals which is 9Ghz When hit the reflective reflective objects (precipitation), (precipitation), the signals is reflected back to the antenna receiver. The returns (echo) are displayed to the pilot on the aircrafts radar screen.
Precipitation
Weather Weather radar is function to detect, locate, and measure the amount of precipitation.

Precipitation is within or falling from cloud. It includ includes es rain, snow, ice & hail. Different precipitation has different reflective levels.

The goal of weather radar is to display areas of heavy precipitation, which generally indicates areas of turbulence. Different types of precipitation have different different reflective qualities. Reflectivity of precipitation precipitation is directly related to moisture content. Large water droplets show the strongest strongest returns, while dry hail or snow will w ill show light returns, or no returns at all. Weather radar detects detects raindrops, not clouds or fog.

The precipitation painted (depicted) by airborne weather radar radar is not of primary concern, however it is representative of areas of severe weather. Areas of large raindrop size=high rainfall rate=intense storm=turbulence storm=turbulence.. The turbulence associated with convective convective clouds is often severe and always dangerous. Other dangerous factors associated with thunderstorms are: severe icing, hail, lightning, strong downdrafts.

CAUT ION: weather radar emits harmful radiation, it should not be operated when people are standing within 50 feet of radome or during refuelling. Home
