Title :
Low-reading absolute altimeters
Abstract :
Efforts have been made over the past twenty years to design a lowreading absolute altimeter for use in aircraft. At the present time the most successful instrument of this type is the frequency-modulation radio altimeter. The paper deals in detail with the problems involved in the design, installation and use of this type of equipment. The discussion is illustrated by reference to various instruments that have been designed.
