Method and device for optical display of a glide path as landing aid for an airplane

摘要

The method involves producing a collimated light beam e.g. laser beam (7), using a light source (5). The collimated light beam is deflected periodically in two spatial directions using a deflection element e.g. deflection mirror (6), by producing a radiation region that displays the glide path. The radiation region exhibits two different partial regions displaying glide path regions e.g. gliding angle regions, where the light beam exhibits different color and/or intensity in the individual partial regions. The light beam is modulated based on the color and/or intensity. An independent claim is also included for a device for optical glide path display as landing aid for an aircraft on a ship.
