NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS) 19930091194: Aeronautic Instruments. Section VI : Aerial Navigation and Navigating Instruments
Author: NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS)
Year: 1923
This report outlines briefly the methods of aerial navigation which have been developed during the past few years, with a description of the different instruments used. Dead reckoning, the most universal method of aerial navigation, is first discussed. Then follows an outline of the principles of navigation by astronomical observation; a discussion of the practical use of natural horizons, such as sea, land, and cloud, in making extant observations; the use of artificial horizons, including the bubble, pendulum, and gyroscopic types. A description is given of the recent development of the radio direction finder and its application to navigation.
