The Automatic Direction Finder (ADF) is a type of avionics equipment used in aircraft navigation. It is designed to provide the pilot with a bearing to a radio station, allowing them to determine their position and direction of travel. The ADF system consists of an antenna, receiver, and indicator. The antenna receives signals from radio stations, which are then processed by the receiver and displayed on the indicator. The indicator typically shows the bearing to the station, as well as the station's frequency and identification. ADF systems are used in a variety of aircraft, from small single-engine planes to large commercial airliners. They are also used in military aircraft, providing pilots with a reliable navigation system in all weather conditions. The ADF market is an important part of the avionics industry, providing pilots with a reliable and accurate navigation system. Companies in the market include Honeywell, Garmin, Rockwell Collins, and Universal Avionics. Show Less Read more
