Radio in Aeronautics - Its Technical Status and the Organization for Its Application in Germany

The work gives a review of the present status of radio in aeronautics in Germany. Not only does it describe the apparatus used at the present time in German aircraft communications, but it also gives results of measurements on the fundamentals of radio in aeronautics, which have been made by the Deutschen Versuchsanstalt fiur Luftfahrt E. V. Further, it indicates the trend that German aircraft radio will probably follow in the next few years. It takes up the subjects of long-wave sets, sets for short- and ultra-short waves, navigation apparatus for aircraft using radio waves, and airship radio sets. Finally, the German organization for the application of radio in aeronautics is described.
