Radar on an airplane is used to detect and avoid severe weather, namely thunderstorms.it is also used to detect enemy or friendly air crafts surrounding the area of flight.It keeps an aircraft present on other aircraft radars and also on the ground radars. Transport aircraft do NOT detect other aircrafts. It MAY on military airplanes but again NOT on transport aircraft.

What is a radar mast?
A radar mast is a high platform to mount a radar antenna such as the radar has an unobstructed view.
What is theDifference between acquisition radar and guidance radar?
In a Military contact Acquisition Radar normally refers to the Search Mode Radar used to scan and track targets before being "target tracked". In this context the "target tracking radar" is used for track and perhaps illuminating a target. If this radar is being used to guide an weapon to the target it is referred to as a guidance radar. However Guidance radar can also exist in the missile seekers.
Did Bismark have radar?
Bismarck certainly had radar but it may only have been gunnery radar similar to that on the Graf Spee in 1939.
How do you use a Radar?
That depends on the particular radar system. A simple speed radar used by law enforcement can simply be held and pointed at a target to determine the speed of the target. A more complex system like an air traffic control radar system would have display consoles for the radar operator to view the data.
What are the advantages using 3D Radar over 2D Radar?
The three Dimensional maps created a revolution in the field of navigation and medical and also in the engineering field. The advantage of 3D maps are that it can give the idea of all the dimensions and hence better designs can be created by looking at the 3d maps and the conventional maps were not that much informative compared to 3D maps are
What detects airplane in air?

What is the dome shaped housing that covers the radar equipment in the nose of an airplane?
This is generally referred to as a radome. The word is an amalgamation of the words "RADAR" and "dome."
How does stealth technology work?
The goal of stealth technology is to make an airplane invisible to radar. There are two different ways to create invisibility:The airplane can be shaped so that any radar signals it reflects are reflected away from the radar equipment.The airplane can be covered in materials that absorb radar signals.
How long does it take a radar signal to go and return to the originating radar unit from an airplane that is 275 mi away?
The radar signal travels at the speed of light, which is approximately 186,282 miles per second. Therefore, the time it takes for the signal to go to the airplane and return would be around 0.0015 seconds.
What is radome in aircrafts?
The radome is the cover over the nose of the airplane. Inside of it is the weather radar antenna It is usually made out of fiberglass or composite material so it will not interfere with the radar system.
How b-2 bomber WORKS?
If you are asking how the bomber itself works I don't know but if you are asking how the stealth works I can awnser that... The B2 bombers "stealth" can be created in 2 ways:The 1st way is the airplane can be shaped so that any radar signals it reflects are reflected away from the radar equipment.The 2nd way is the airplane can be covered in materials that absorb radar signals.
An airplane lost from radar at 5 degress south and 55 degress west over which continent?
South America
Machine that keeps an airplane on course?
Autopilot keeps an aircraft on course. In modern times autopilot is assisted by GPS and radar.
What does RADAR technology affect our everyday life?
airplane navigational RADAR, helps the crew of an airliner know where they are and what is around themairport RADAR, helps airport staff know where incoming and departing aircraft areair traffic control RADAR, helps controller know where aircraft in their area areweather RADAR, helps meteorologists know where storms and precipitation arepolice RADAR, helps police identify speeding drivers and how fast they are goingetc.
How do stealth aircrafts fly?
They fly just the same as any other airplane. The only difference being they are made of materials that do not give a big radar image.
