Talk:Plan position indicator

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Isnt PPI supposed to mean Plan Polar Indicator? This to distinguish it from the early radar displays only showing targets in one specific direction. Anyone? europrobe 18:22, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

Plan Position Indicator is the original TRE (who devised it) meaning and is fairly self-explanatory. The display gives a map-like, ie., a plan display of the target positions relative to the transmitting set. Ian Dunster 11:38, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
