Abstract
The radio beam coupler system has been recently developed as an en route navigation and approach aid for modem transport and bombing aircraft. It is applicable to both military and commercial operations. The system comprises an electronic amplifier and cockpit switching elements for coupling the automatic pilot to VOR and ILS radio facilities. Accuracy and efficiency of control is improved over previous systems while automatic sequencing and sensing simplify the human pilot´s operating procedures. Design features such as magnetic components and hermetic sealing enhance the reliability of the amplifier unit.
