Do aircrafts have Horns?

i mean the horns which i think every transport medium in the world have it.but never heard from the aircrafts?!!

Do aircrafts have Horns?
Yes and no. They don%26#039;t have horns as you are probably thinking of them, as in car, truck or train horns. However, all certified aircraft are equipped with a stall warning device (not engine stalls, but a warning indicating that the critical angle of attack for the wing is being approached, which, if exceeded, results in a stall, or loss of lift, due to separation of airflow over the upper surface of the wing) - some older aircraft use a stall warning light, but most aircraft have a stall warning horn inside the cockpit. In addition, larger aircraft often have warning horns and/or tones for various system failure modes - again, these are audible signals within the cockpit to alert the crew.

landing gear lights%26amp; screaming Engs. about 150 deciables.





A Horn would be too late.
Reply:In WW2, the Stuka dive bomber had sirens........
Reply:No they dont have horns but use their lights as a method of signals.
Reply:Actually yes, some do. There was a time when there was an interest in a small plane that converted into a car once you landed, and of course it was equipped with a horn. They used the horn as the stall indicator while it was in flight, so it landed with the horn blaring.

Reply:Horn as in %26quot;Beep Beep%26quot;?


No.


Aircraft are too fast for a horn to be of any practical use.
Reply:Some are equipped with a ground crew alert horn, only of use around the aircraft when parked. Last time I used one it was on a JT8 powered Boeing 737, so it was a while ago.
Reply:Commerical aircraft have horns BUT...





One horn outside the aircraft is to get the attention of ramp personnel.


In the cockpit-





• cabin altitude warning horn when the cabin altitude is above 10,000 ft.





• takeoff warning horn, when aircraft is not properly configured for takeoff.


(PS commerical airliners do not use a stall warning horn but use a stick-shaker)
Reply:If your talking about audio horns in aircraft... No...





But you can see rather large bull horns straped on the front of aircraft from time to time flying out of Texas ;)
Reply:No, but the pilot can rev up the engines, flash some lights, or talk in the radio.
Reply:Depends on the aircraft.
Reply:No.
Reply:actually aircraft%26#039;s most of them have horns they mostly use them to taxi around the airport
Reply:No! LOL what are they going to honk at the birds.
Reply:If you think on it real hard , do you think you would hear any horn beeped at you over the sound of the engines on a plane , and were would you use it, to warn pedestrians? to avoid a mid air collision?if you think on it ,it is a bloody silly question isn%26#039;t it.
