Wind turbines and radar obscuration
Although I am a PPL(H) I am posting on this forum in my capacity as an electrical engineer.
I am currently working on a new project, located in Hounslow, and there is a requirement for 2 large wind turbines to be mounted adjacent to the building.
NATS have vetoed the idea on the grounds that the turbine blades could intermittantly appear on Heathrow radar.
Is there a precedent for this type of thing or are NATS being unhelpful and discounting the idea out of hand?
Any information you might have on other turbine applications or installations that have been approved would be very useful.
Thanks
