  • Patent number: 4360175
    Abstract: An aircraft weather vane and mooring device having a turntable rotatably mounted about a depending central shaft. A friction brake assembly engages the center shaft to prevent rotation of the turntable under normal wind conditions. The turntable comprises a plurality of radially extending crossarms having a low profile configuration. The crossarms are supported for rotation on ground engaging rollers at spaced-apart locations along the crossarms. Weather panels can be detachably secured between adjacent crossarm members.
