Airport windsock

with mast

Wind-measurement poles (Weatherpoles) help inform air-traffic control of wind speed and direction. Europoles deliver wind-measurement poles made of carbon- and glass-fibre reinforced plastic. Due to their stiffness the masts show just a slight deflection, even during high wind speeds The poles can be designed in accordance to individual regulations and requirements.. Their conical mast form also minimizes icing. These masts are therefore reliable at all times, even under the worst of conditions. In addition to their contribution to flight safety, they also offer great passive security for aircraft and passengers. Despite their stability, they sap off in the event of a collision.
