Acoustic Distress Beacon

Published in issue 391, July/August 2009

An ELT (Emergency Locator Transmitter, also known as a distress beacon) is an emergency radio transmitter that is activated either manually or automatically by a crash sensor to aid the detection and location of aircraft in distress. This acoustic ELT project is intended for radio-control (RC) model aircraft, which every now and then decide to go their own way and disappear into the undergrowth.
