Dynamic Aircraft Headlight and Method of Operating a Dynamic Aircraft Headlight

摘要

A dynamic aircraft headlight, includes an LED group, having a plurality of LEDs, and an optical system, comprising at least one optical element, for shaping an output light intensity distribution from the light emitted by the LED group. The LED group and the optical system are stationary within the dynamic aircraft light unit, with each LED of the LED group has a set position with respect to the optical system and with a light output of each LED being affected differently by the optical system.
