ABSTRACT:
The rate-of-climb indicator of this invention can indicate the existence of wind shear. It comprises: a rate-of-climb capsule directly connected with the static pressure; a gear train which amplifies the displacement of the capsule; a rate-of climb pointer which indicates the amplified displacement, by rotation; a rate-of-speed pointer and its axle concentrically mounted with the rate-of-climb pointer; a rate-of-climb detecting side case containing therewithin the rate-of-climb capsule and the gear train, the rate-of-climb pointer and the rate-of speed pointer and its axle, the rate-of-climb detecting side case being connected with the static pressure through a capillary tube; a rate-of-speed capsule directly connected with the total pressure; a gear train for amplifying the displacement of the rate-of-speed capsule; an axle which transmits the amplified rotation; a rate-of-speed detecting side case containing the rate-of-speed capsule, the gear train, transmitting axle and being disposed to the case of the rate-of-climb detecting side through a wall face, the axes of the transmitting axle and the rate-of-speed pointer being made consistent with each other, and the rate-of-speed detecting side case being connected with the total pressure; and a non-contact rotation transmitting mechanism which transmits the rotation to the axle of the rate-of-speed pointer.
