    Hi Brundu841,

    IIRC there was a Dambusters project under development. The Lancaster bomber used crossed searchlights to achieve the correct altitude.

    If that project was successful, the same light effects could be used for headlights? Many ETO aircraft already have "running lights", of course.

    I think he is referring to regular aircraft landing lights?? That's how I understood it anyway.
