New developments in aerospace charting techniques and equipment

Abstract

New developments in aerospace charting techniques and equipment the process involves, as its name suggests, the three dimensional shaping of terrain forms manually embossing, or pressing, the relief detail into plastic sheets. The completed models are adhered to a rigid base of conventional illustration board material, and given a spray coat of flat-grey latex paint. Great emphasis is now being placed internationally on research and development, resulting in rapid technological advances in the space and aeronautical sciences. These are demanding equally rapid changes in charting requirements where in the accurate plotting of positional data grid networks is of prime importance.
