The Airborne Collision Avoidance System II (ACAS II) was introduced in order to reduce the risk of mid-air collisions or near mid-air collisions between aircraft.It serves as a last-resort safety net irrespective of any separation standards.he safety benefits delivered by ACAS are usually expressed in terms of the risk ratio (does ACAS make safety better or worse?). For Europe, ACAS is estimated to reduce the risk of mid-air collision by a factor of about 5 (i.e. a risk ratio of 22%).
Quick Answer. Tungsten is the element used in incandescent light bulb filaments, because it has a very high melting point. Tungsten is a metal with an atomic number of 74, and its atomic weight is 183.84 grams per mole. This metal has a melting point of 6192 degrees Fahrenheit.
What Edison invented was the first incandescent light that was practical, that would light for hours and hours. He and his muckers also had to invent hundreds of other parts to make the light bulbs in your home work. Light switches, electric meters, wiring--all these had to be invented too. This took several years of experiments. Ludwig Boehm of Germany carefully blew the glass to make light bulbs. Charles Batchelor of Great Britain tested one thing after another to make the filament, the tiny thread that glows inside a light bulb.
