  2. Variometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variometer

    A variometer that produces this type of audible tone is known as an "audio variometer". Advanced electronic variometers in gliders can present other information to the pilot from GPS receivers. The display can thus show the bearing, distance and height required to reach an objective.

  3. Speed to fly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_to_fly

    MacCready speed to fly ring for a variometer. The outer ring show various airspeeds, while the variometer shows climb rate. The index arrow, white triangle, on the ring is placed against the expected rate of climb at the next thermal. The variometer needle will then point to the optimum airspeed, listed on the ring, to be flown to that thermal.

  4. Litz wire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litz_wire

    Litz wire is used for the helix and variometer in both helix houses. It consists of 9 × 5 × 5 × 27 (totaling 6,075) strands of #36 AWG (0.127 mm [0.0050 in] diameter) magnet wire and multiple layers of cotton, hemp, and plastic insulation, in a cable 19 mm ( 3 ⁄ 4 inch) in diameter, totaling 151,875 circular mils ( 0.7695619839 cm 2 ) of ...

  5. Hang gliding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hang_gliding

    The most basic being a variometer and altimeter—often combined. Some more advanced pilots also carry airspeed indicators and radios. When flying in competition or cross country, pilots often also carry maps and/or GPS units. Hang gliders do not have instrument panels as such, so all the instruments are mounted to the control frame of the ...

  6. E6B - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E6B

    In the air, the flight computer can be used to calculate ground speed, estimated fuel burn and updated estimated time of arrival. The back is designed for wind vector solutions, i.e., determining how much the wind is affecting one's speed and course.

    A graphing calculator (also graphics calculator or graphic display calculator) is a handheld computer that is capable of plotting graphs, solving simultaneous equations, and performing other tasks with variables.

  9. List of measuring instruments - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_measuring_instruments

    Action describes energy summed up over the time a process lasts (time integral over energy). Its dimension is the same as that of an angular momentum.. A phototube provides a voltage measurement which permits the calculation of the quantized action (Planck constant) of light.
