airplane with geophysical equipment
Detailed Description
Goldak Airborne Surveys used a Cesna Grand Caravan to fly the geophysical surveys. The tail or "stinger" off the back of the plane houses the magnetometer. Having a stinger increases the signal-to-noise ratio of the magnetometer by increasing distance between the sensor and the airplane’s electronics.
