Abstract:
Disclosed is an aircraft provided with a light signaling system including at least one light-emitting device at the tip of each wing and at least one light-emitting device at the tip of the tail. Each light-emitting device at the wingtip can be arranged in a recess formed in the profile of the wing and include a covering At least one light source and a protective glass can be arranged on the recess so that the outer surface matches the shape of the wing. The inner surface of the protective glass can be provided with at least one local variation in thickness so as to increase the angular aperture of each wingtip light-emitting device in order to ensure the overlap between the light-emitting devices at the wingtip and the light emitted by the light-emitting device on the tail.
