Aero 9B nose turret from the Neptune at the National Naval Aviation Museum, Florida, 2007.Mostly the one foot longer Aero 9C turret was installed. Before the P-3 Orion arrived in the mid-1960s, the Neptune was the primary U.S. land-based anti-submarine patrol aircraft, intended to be operated as the hunter of a '"Hunter-Killer" group, with destroyers employed as killers.

The transponder gets its altitude information from an encoding altimeter mounted behind the instrument panel that communicates via the Gillham code. Gillham code is a zero-padded 12-bit binary code using a parallel nine- [ 1 ] to eleven-wire interface , [ 2 ] the Gillham interface , that is used to transmit uncorrected barometric altitude ...
It is designed to read zero at sea level in the vicinity of the aerodrome, unlike QNH which will not read precisely zero at sea-level. [2] Related to the altimeter settings are: TA [3] - Transition Altitude - altitude at which the pilot changes the aircraft's altimeter setting (usually from QNH) to standard pressure (1013.25 hPa)
Diagram showing the face of the "three-pointer" sensitive aircraft altimeter displaying an altitude of 10,180 ft (3,100 m). Reference pressure of about 29.92 inHg (1013 hPa) is showing in the Kollsman window. An altimeter or an altitude meter is an instrument used to measure the altitude of an object above a fixed level.

The late 1960s saw the introduction of digital air data computers. In 1967, Garrett AiResearch's ILAAS air data computer was the first all-digital unit. [12] The DC-10 used Honeywell's digital air data system in 1969 [13] and the F-14 CADC used on the F-14 in 1970 used custom integrated circuits.
The bright S/2002 N5 moon is 14 miles (23 kilometers) in diameter and takes nearly nine years to complete an orbit of Neptune, while faint S/2021 N1 is about 8.7 miles (14 kilometers) across and ...
The cockpit of a Slingsby T-67 Firefly two-seat light airplane.The flight instruments are visible on the left of the instrument panel. Flight instruments are the instruments in the cockpit of an aircraft that provide the pilot with data about the flight situation of that aircraft, such as altitude, airspeed, vertical speed, heading and much more other crucial information in flight.
