Airport Windsocks

Wind Directional Wind System flags are designed to work in partnership with our patented pivotal harness system. The flag is 2x6' feet (custom sizes available), fully dyed Alert Orange(tm) or Black & Yellow striped, and reinforced at the fly end with four rows of stitching. The no fray side hem allows graceful movement, which assists in animating the wind. The dynamic design & international safety color is recognizable to all persons. The Wind Directional Wind System flag construction and patented pivotal harness allow the animation of the wind by using wind load factor or the flag, and a multidirectional movement made possible by our patented pivotal harness system. For the first time you can "see" the wind. Air moves "against" the fabric not through it and therefore the flag/sock will be moved in a direction relative to the force and direction of that wind. The patented harness keeps the flag/sock against the wind and creates a full resistance so the slightest breeze creates visible movement in the flag. As the air currents move against and along the flag it rises & falls with side-to-side movement as the wind changes directions. When the flag attempts to "dive off", it is pulled back into the winds force by the harness cords. This patented harness keeps the flag in position and allows it to animate the wind at any speed, and at all times.

The open-ended design of an ordinary sock lets the air move into and through the sock with very little resistance until a sufficient volume of wind force is built up in the sock. By the time the sock "fills" up, wind speeds can be in excess of 8 mile per hour. This is because the air is not only rushing into the sock but it is also rushing out the other end. When the sock is filled with wind that same wind force restricts it from turning to show the immediate and accurate direction of the wind. Variables in wind speed and direction are not usually visible in an ordinary sock design. The basic construction of an ordinary windsock only allows the wind to move into the one opening at the hoop side of the sock. Wind coming from a direction other than the hoop opening cannot enter the sock until it turns into the correct position. Accurate measurements of lower wind speeds are not visible because of this and the fact that when the air moves into it also moves out of the sock before there is enough force to lift the main body of the windsock. Once the windsock is full, additional wind speed is not accurately portrayed because now the sock is full, and any additional force exerted within the sock or along the sides and body, are minimized by the air force within the windsock.
