Results for tag: "Fluxgate"

Fluxgate is a type of avionics technology used to measure and monitor the magnetic field of an aircraft. It is typically used in navigation systems, such as those used in autopilot and inertial navigation systems. Fluxgate technology is also used in aircraft instrumentation, such as attitude indicators, heading indicators, and airspeed indicators. The technology is based on the principle of a fluxgate magnetometer, which measures the strength and direction of a magnetic field. Fluxgate technology is used in a variety of avionics applications, including navigation, instrumentation, and communication. It is also used in aircraft maintenance and repair, as well as in the development of new aircraft systems. The fluxgate market is a growing sector of the avionics industry, with a number of companies offering products and services related to fluxgate technology. Some of these companies include Honeywell, Rockwell Collins, Thales, and Garmin. Show Less Read more
