Windsocks

A windsock is a lengthened, tapered fabric tube open at both ends and colored in red and white. It is a straightforward yet vital tool, indicating wind direction and strength. Windsocks are commonly used at airports, heliports, industrial sites, and other locations where wind conditions are essential for safety and operations. It possesses frangibility tower mast to mitigate the potential risk of unintended impact

How it Works

Simple operations of windsock:

As the wind flows into the larger opening, the fabric expands, forming the windsock's cylindrical shape. The extent of this expansion reflects wind strength - stronger winds inflate the windsock more than gentler breezes. By gauging the inflation level, one can estimate wind speed
The smaller end of the windsock aligns with the wind source, offering a straightforward visual indication of wind direction
Typically, an OB light is combined with the windsock to create a comprehensive system. This setup can be linked to a communication tower for manual control
