Each time an airplane touches down on a runway, it leaves a little bit of itself behind. A single 747, for example, deposits 7.5 lb of rubber whenever it lands. This rubber accumulates over time and can produce a film that coats landing lights, decreasing the efficiency of illumination intended to give pilots critical visual cues from the ground. A mobile system for monitoring airfield lighting calculates light output from runway lamps, enabling cost-effective, targeted maintenance of critical illumination. TMS Photometrics Ltd. has developed a mobile monitoring system for airfield...Read full article
