Also, the near-range signals can saturate when the aircraft is flying through dense clouds. In this situation, the clouds cannot be fully penetrated by the lidar, and the signals can be dramatically ...
Dubbed as the Contrail Optical Depth Experiment, the tests will involve the NASA Langley Research Center’s G-III aircraft trailing GE Aerospace’s 747 flying test bed in flight and using light ...
