There are probably several, but here are a few which come to mind: * They operate on different voltages and frequencies of electrical current, * Automotive radios generally are recievers only, while aircraft radios are generally "transcievers," which means they can transmit signals as well as receive, * They usually operate on different "bands" of the radio frequency spectrum, * Almost, if not all, aircraft radios are capable of being uses with headsets [earpnones] due to ambient noise in the cockpit, * Aircraft radio equipent is almost always much more expensive than automotive.

What is the difference between black box testing and aircraft black box?

There is a huge difference between the two. An aircraft black box is a method used to record information about the plane and radio transmissions. It is used whenever there is an incident to retrieve information to provide clues to what happened. Black box testing uses the process of abstraction to test a system. For example, if I develop a system which takes a number and returns its square I can test it by passing it a value and see if the square returned is correct. I do not need to know the specifics of the function (that it is doing num1*num1) just that they returned square is correct.


What is the difference between a ship radar and sextant?

Radar is an electronic device utilizing computers, antenna and radio waves to detect the location of ships, aircraft and land, typically shown as blips on a visual display.
