Research abstract
The purpose of the system under design is to increase airframe visibility and increase crew safety by allowing pilots to activate any of three rotor-lighting modes: the"navigation"mode produces two arcs of red and green light on the port and starboard sides of the rotor, respectively; the"hover"mode produces a 360-degree halo of white light around the rotor (intended for use during takeoffs and landings; and, finally, the"covert"mode produces a near infrared (NIR) halo visible only to night-vision equipment. Furthermore, all three lighting modes just described can be dimmed, pulsed, or turned completely off.
