BLIND LANDINGS with greater safety are promised by a radio-beam and antenna system devised by Alfred Alford, of New York. A radiation is spread out in the form of a cone, the apex of which is at one side of the runway. A beam guides the pilot to a position directly over the runway. When the plane reaches the cone, it descends in a gentle hyperbolic curve, its wheels finally touching the ground at the curve's lowest point.
