ELS general aviation aircraft flying over camera at 800 feet. Camera follows aircraft to position directly over head. 10. ELS Q-Star flying over camera at 800 feet. Camera follows Q-Star from directly over head into distance. Initials NOTE TO EDITORS: Enclosed with the film clip on the Q-Star quiet airplane is a 16mm magnetic track which can be synched with the last four shots. These shots, which run for approximately one minute, show fly-bys of Q-Star and a small, single engine, general aviation aircraft of equal weight. The mag track has the recorded sound of these aircraft. On the head of the mag track there is a five-second. 1000 cycle tone. If you set your sound level so the VU meter reads 0 on this tone, you will play the airplane noises as they were heard and recorded by ground observers. Approximately one half second after the sound level tone there is a synch tone which may be matched to a synch mark on the film clip between shots 6 and 7. We recorded these aircraft by setting the microphone gain for normal conversation. This setting was not touched during the series of fly-bys made by both aircraft. The airplanes flew over at an altitude of 800 feet. Script is copyright Reuters Limited. All rights reserved
