Product Overview
The Internally Illuminated Heliport Wind Cone redefines wind direction indicators for modern rotorcraft operations. This innovative device merges traditional wind sock functionality with cutting-edge LED technology, creating a beacon of safety for helicopter pilots.
At its heart, the system features a robust wind cone that responds to even the slightest air movements. What sets it apart is its ingenious internal lighting array. As the cone shifts with the wind, the lights rotate in perfect sync, painting a clear picture of wind direction and strength visible from afar.
Engineered for versatility, this wind cone adapts to diverse heliport environments. From urban rooftops to offshore platforms, its customizable height and flexible power options ensure seamless integration. The durable construction withstands harsh weather, maintaining reliability in challenging conditions.
By providing pilots with instant, intuitive wind data, this illuminated wind cone enhances decision-making during critical landing and takeoff phases. It stands as an essential safety tool for modern heliports, blending time-tested principles with tomorrow’s technology.
