7.5m Illuminated Solar Wind Cone

The 7.5m Illuminated Solar Wind Cone is an essential wind direction indicator specifically designed for heliports, providing reliable performance in various weather conditions. This advanced wind cone is strategically positioned to indicate wind conditions over the FATO (Final Approach and Takeoff Area) and TLOF (Touchdown and Lift-off Area), while minimizing disturbances from surrounding structures. It remains visible from various helicopter flight orientations, whether in flight, hovering, or on the movement area.

Equipped with an independent solar power system, the wind cone operates autonomously, with optional battery backup ensuring consistent functionality. A junction box featuring a built-in photocell automatically activates the LED projectors and obstruction lights during nighttime, ensuring compliance with safety regulations.

The wind cone is constructed from lightweight polyester fabric, measuring 2.4 meters in length and 0.6 meters in diameter, mounted on a durable stainless steel pole. The base design incorporates a hinge mechanism that facilitates easy sock or cone replacement. Furthermore, the waterproof design of this wind cone ensures durability across various environments.

Compliance ensures adherence to both ICAO Annex 14, Volume I and Volume II guidelines, making this wind direction indicator an excellent choice for any heliport.
