Researchers Simplify Angle and Direction Sensors with Liquid

During a storm or other turbulence, the orientation of the plane and the angle at which the plane is tilted toward Earth’s surface are vital information a pilot needs to know. If the nose of the plane is tilted downward at a 45° angle, for example, the direction and angle should be balanced to ensure altitude.
